Three of my family members had babies in the last 12 months. My family thinks I'm being dramatic when I start talking about climate change.

Our society is not known for thoughtfulness.

So you're creating more CO²? Shame on you!

Will you please explain this?

I feel like I understand each sentence but not why you put them together.

babies born into bleak future by humans who forgot to consider whether or not it's in the best interest of anyone but themselves

Also having lots of children is probably the single biggest carbon impact, since youre multiplying your own consuption.

I wont say "dont have any children and let society collapse" but Im also feeling pretty negative about all this tbh.

People will be having babies regardless. If you want to advocate for them to stop, you aren't going to convince anyone.

Perhaps, but @TheBat is not wrong. Those people aren't thinking too hard about the futures of the children they're choosing to have.

Unless they are, and have somehow concluded that the kids will be fine. 🤷‍♂️ I'd love to know how they arrived at such a conclusion, though, because humanity is looking pretty doomed right now.
