“I had the hormonal urges,” said Prof Camille Parmesan, a leading climate scientist based in France. “Oh my gosh, it was very strong. But it was: ‘Do I really want to bring a child into this world that we’re creating?’ Even 30 years ago, it was very clear the world was going to hell in a handbasket. I’m 62 now and I’m actually really glad I did not have children.”
Parmesan is not alone. An exclusive Guardian survey has found that almost a fifth of the female climate experts who responded have chosen to have no children, or fewer children, due to the environmental crises afflicting the world.
Such decisions were extremely difficult, they said. Dr Shobha Maharaj, an expert on the effects of the climate crisis from Trinidad and Tobago, has chosen to have only one child, a son who is now six years old. “Choosing to have a child was and continues to be a struggle,” she said.
Maharaj said fear of what her child’s future would hold, as well as adding another human to the planet, were part of the struggle: “When you grow up on a small island, it becomes part of you. Small islands are already being very adversely impacted, so there is this constant sense of impending loss and I just didn’t want to have to transfer that to my child.”
“However, my husband is the most family-oriented person I know,” Maharaj said. “So this was a compromise: one child, no more. Who knows, maybe my son will grow up to be someone who can help find a solution?”

The publication of The Population Bomb by Prof Paul Ehrlich in 1968, mentioned by several of the scientists in their survey responses, was a particular flashpoint.

Don’t worry, bitch, there are now MILLIONS of Muslims in France who are GLADLY having as many children as they can pop out to take the place of you, you (non-existent) ‘partner’, and your (non-existent) children.
They have your back, you’re good. Bitch.
What, specifically, are you talking about?
DDT?

Thread winnah!
I’m specifically talking about the increase in crop yields by 800-1200% and largely the eradication of famine from earth.
All right.
I thought that you might be referring to a singular achievement. The increase in crop yields is, in contrast, attributable to numerous different factors.

If they can teach their doctrine, they can recruit your kids. Rebellious years are the most hazardous.

Love her cheese, hate her politics.
So true!!
Well if the scientists don’t wish to spawn... because of climate... I think they have a lot more to worry about in the future of their children than the climate but are never going to cross that threshold because they don’t want to get gaslighted for the rest of their lives. So in a way I understand why they chose climate but.. the problems are found elsewhere being that societal woes are far worse and closer than they wish to acknowledge.
Yes. “Climate Scientists” (who aren’t in any way, shape, or form “scientists) absolutely shouldn’t be reproducing!
It’s good that these neurotics have decided not to reproduce.
Well, 500 million years ago the Grand Canyon was the Cambrian Sea. So, there is a lot to fear with all that “climate change”. /s

Climate Scientists never mention the volcanoes that have erupted over the past two years and the 100 billion tons of ash and vapor pumped into high altitudes. Two more volcanoes have erupted recently and nothing is mentioned about the ash and vapors they have pumped into the high atmosphere.
Oh good lord. Yes I worry about the future for my kids. A future where they cannot afford housing and are prosecuted for something they say on line.
Great news! These idiots refuse to breed !!!
Some people should NOT breed!
