Yeah and selling ice cream leads to shark attacks 🙄
Countries with a well-educated population care more about the future of the planet and well-educated people have fewer kids. There’s no “climate childlessness” like you seem to be implying.

Something vaguely related to this topic is the fact that countries with more laws designed to abate climate changing effects are also experiencing a slowdown in the rate with which they have children. Whereas many countries with relatively high birthrates generally do not have very strict climate standards. Overall levels of general education also play into this.

Read my edit. I think I’m being misunderstood, and I don’t think I clearly communicated what I was trying to. Your second paragraph literally summarized what I was trying to convey, but I’m better at numbers and graphs than I am with words lol

Right. There are many factors at play that lead to these outcomes, and there are always outliers
