I think having kids is an entirely selfish act and anyone who has them knowing they will likely be dead in 30 years because of our decisions is a terrible person

TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s more to do with the collapse of civilization. I have kids, but if I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn’t have had them.

Some of us had them before we knew the extent of the damage. I’ve apologized repeatedly to my kids, and they are well aware of their future.

Oh I wasn’t putting blame on you, you mentioned you wouldn’t do it now
TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I am to blame though. I should have been aware.

This sounds terrible!
TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It is. But better than denying reality.

Don’t worry, we’re banning abortion so you don’t have to be selfish to have kids.

Right cause ~ 5% of energy being generated by renewables is such a big help!!

One of the many reasons we weren’t able to get on top of climate change is it’s a long term process. Actions we take now, have consequences in years to come. We are making progress with the human causes of climate change, but if you’re looking at actual temperature change, the result, you’ll need to look ahead

The problem is even if we 100% fix climate change we are still gonna devastate the planet, well kill off our society at the least. Like we can’t remove 90% of biomass and expect no repercussions down the foodchain, we can’t keep overfishing and expect fish to still be there, and we can’t expect our crops to grow when we destroy the topsoil ecosystem. We are fucked

Renewables won’t stop the oil companies from selling their product. But I’m optimistic for different reasons; ol Zuck is making sure he’s the tastiest billionaire on the menu with his wagyu diet.
