    This is one of the reasons my spouse and I opted to not have kids. This place is doomed.

      Dude I feel so incredibly guilty for bringing my kids into this horror. You’re doing the right thing.

      Given that overpopulation likely contributes to climate change, you’re also doing your part for those who do have to live through this hellscape!

        Honestly having kids or not doesn’t make a huge difference since most countries are below replacement already anyway. Not like it’s normal to have 3+ kids anymore even if you do have kids.

          I actually think it might even be worse to not have kids at this point, someone needs to fix all the issues previous generations have created. I’m pretty sure we need human intervention, some kind of Geo-engineering/Terraforming to avoid a runway hot house earth (something like effective carbon capture)… So I don’t think antinatalism helps…

        It doesn’t really make a huge difference tbf, also, most of the work is done by a few countries (see India, China and many african countries), countries like South Korea or Italy actually have the opposite problem, there aren’t enough kids
