Mental just mental you seriously think climate change makes people not wanna have kids seriously
Climate change and having children. Don't you think there is a conflict between these?😂 Having kids, you're making it worse
💨🤡
What I hear is *cough*(We lack the responsibility of taking care of another human being, and want to live our life out to the fullest as kids ourselves). Wait, who said that? 😂
Still nothing stopping them from having kids!!!
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today……
The kids are raised into a world where they don't want to be a police officer , the president of the united states , nor work on the railroad … …They want Stay at home jobs with 3 day weekends
Not only climate but also Guns , we are learning even angels one day SNAP ! And for no good reason go on a shooting rampage
I'm more concerned about China taking over the world.
But I decided long ago not to have kids. It's not like there is a shortage of humans on this planet.
Anybody notice that all of the world's problems would be lessened if there were fewer people?
How long have they been saying this now? Years I’m 24 and want kids . I’m done with the Fear mongering BS
Just get rid of China and India. Climate change solved.
I'm going to have kids and I'm going to make sure that they grow up to be the next generation of climate change deniers I'm one of the young people who don't believe in this climate change crap I represent next-generation denial organization of young climate change deniers
The “science” has everyone running scared. The fossil fuel scam makes people live in fear. CO2 makes up0.04 percent of the atmosphere. The same amount it’s been for hundreds of years. It goes up and down very little. 400 parts per million. If it ever got to 0.02 or 200 parts per million all the plants on earth would die. Climate change has happened on a cyclical basis since the earth was formed. There are better ways to keep pollution in check without going back to the horse and buggy.
It's called GEOENGINERING …
Put into clouds to alter weather make it rain or not.
Something to look at.. it's been happening for years and years… Young people research yourself….
Not just Climate Change; there is the ever-present threat of total economic collapse, the very real possibility our society will tear itself apart, the looming threat of WW3 and declining individual rights due to corporate greed and excess. I, for one am so thankful not to have children, no way do I want to force them to live through all that is to come.
People can protest all they want but it’s already too late. People might as well enjoy before more disasters happen
Just an excuse for people that can't stand kids.
Just shows you how disengaged and ignorant young people are. The world is on the edge of WW3 and these idiots are worried about something that doesn’t exist in the context they been led to believe. Just freaking ridiculous.
So how will all of The Democrats debt increase spending impact the children of the future?
Climate change makes me not want kids. It sucks but idk, feels selfish
Ok this is a horrible excuse but ok
Dont call it climate change,call it as elites greed,western elites politicians and their companies emmiteted so much carbon dioxide and they still are,they are asking poor and middle class to make sacrifices while having their high class lifestyles,they spread climate propaganda to gain more control,don't be fooled by their propaganda, defeating them will only save planet and people,so think again and again when you listen to their propaganda
Im not having kids because its been a global recession since 2001.
Why condemn children to a world you yourself wouldn't want to live in?
Liberalism is another reason not to have kids. Who wants to raise kids in their toxic environment?
Yall worried about a climate crisis when ww3 is looming smh
The future is female
I know because Hollywood, the media and many women told me
Not just humans, many animals are reproducing less because of climate change and harsh environments
The elite government are trying to make us into a communist society
I've always wanted a kid, but it didn't happen because of financial reasons. I'd rather adopt and help a kid in need who's already in this world.
Then again, there's always the option of being the God-parent to a kid, too. There's lots of options for raising kids, I guess.
Democrats should lead by example and sterilize themselves
You forget about Child Labor practices, and think the corporate world cares about kids….. Ignorant Humans!
“ The North Pole will be ice-free in the summer by 2013 because of man-made global warming.” Con artist and chronic liar Al Gore, 2008.
Why have kids when you can go to any single black mother's house and get a kid or two
