    reminder: the greatest things you can do to help the environment: Go Vegan; Don’t have kids; if you can, walk/catch public transport/cycle.

      Ok so I have a question about one thing in your list.

      If you don’t have kids then you would not have people to continue your virtue and belief on the next generation. While the people who are denying climate change have all the kids they can spit out of their body. And guess what, children are the ones who have a higher percentage of continuing their parents beliefs.

      So in a few generation their side will outnumber your side.

        Climate change really has to be solved in this generation. You’re thinking too long term, we don’t have that kind of time.

        Additionally, not all children of climate sociopaths become sociopaths. The planet increasingly makes a convincing argument even for those who weren’t taught to hear. That’s why the old propagandists have to ramp up their effort

        You can still do that by adopting kids someone else made. No sense adding to the population when some kids already don’t have parents.

          You make a good point but then again, the numbers game would still be tilted in favor of those who multiply the most.

          Why not have 1 child and adopt another, preferably of the same age so that both children won’t be lonely and have someone to depend on as family when the parents are gone.

            there’s nothing that says you can only adopt one kid :)
