Yeah, should be clear that I don't think choosing not to have children makes you in any way a climate facist.
I totally hear you on thinking those things won't have an effect. But I would say this: the only people who benefit from climate change activism being a lost cause, are the people looking to exploit our planet. Will you or me or a big group of us stop climate change in its tracks? Sadly no. But the future isn't written, and we can still do a lot to mitigate the worst impacts and hold corporations to account.
Honestly, that's the saddest part. Knowing what great things humans can achieve if we really commit. I believe we could totally lick this thing, or at least mitigate it. Unfortunately, humans operate on crisis management and this time it may be too late after everyone is on board with the idea that it's a crisis.
