    I don’t think that people having kids are selfish either. It’s just one of those things you see so often regarding the issue of climate change. The people espousing that view are simply using it as an easy out to absolve themselves of any responsibility in my opinion.

    Educating and preparing younger generations to address the issues they will face is unfortunately the most likely way to resolve such issues, and I’ve chosen to take that challenge upon myself despite how difficult and costly it is to raise children now compared to when my parents had me.

      These people just have no hope. They have given up on humanity. They are preparing themselves for the worst.

      We can choose differently. We can look to what is in our power to mitigate suffering. We can raise awareness and take direct action.
