      Have kids if you want. It’s just insane to me to plan your entire life and make major decisions on a cataclysm that may or may not even occur in your lifetime; and it (climate change) may present in ways that we can’t even imagine now.

      Edit, fine, fuck me, it’s raining fire and brimstone out there, billions of people are dying in the streets, the horsemen of the apocalypse are here, it’s game over for the human species, my bad. Nobody have kids, it’s over, might as well just shoot yourself right now.

          Seriously. This isn’t the bible where people prophitized the world will end in 130ad. We are in it now. This is happening, and educated people have been warning everyone about it.

            Damn dude didn’t take long to throw out the “KYS” card, huh? Spoken like a goddamn bot. This is why we refer to you people as NPCs because everything you say is so goddamn predictable. You do not even have an ounce of original thought in you

            Next is go touch grass… no wait you did that already, so why don’t you skip to the calling me a LibCuck and fuck off already, hmm?

        Um… It’s literally happening right now. They told our grandparents “it’ll be your grandchildren who will really suffer”

        We’re the grandchildren. Food and water shortages, people dying from the heat, floods, pandemics. All of it is happening in first world countries. The US, Europe, China… Last year, this year, next year

        We’re past the “slowly gets worse” phase. We fucked around for that. We’re starting the “find out” phase

      This one’s kinda loaded. Imagine everyone just stopped having kids. We’d be extinct.

      We don’t need to pump them out like we’re recovering from a war.

      Also whose gonna take care of all our old asses in the future? Society was kinda built on this system.

      But yes, the population overall does need to decrease.

        I don’t care if we go extinct. Once I’m dead reality shuts down since I can only experience it from my POV.

        And it’s cute you think we’re gonna allowed to retire instead of dying at work or homeless. Real cute. We won’t have the same luxuries as the damn boomers.

          100% agree. We are so fucked for retirement. That term should almost be removed from the dictionary, since it will no longer exist 😅

        Good

        Let us suffer. If we even make it far enough for that to be an issue.

          This is such a depressing and pessimistic view on it though.

          Imagine a world where the top humans actually cared and didn’t exist to just exploit the classes under them. That would be a good place to be, but humanity’s greed will never cease to exist.
