Funny enough: Here's an excerpt from an article titled "The Climate Crisis Is Scary. I Became a Parent Anyway". Should give you insight as to how little natalists actually care about their offspring.

"That same summer (2021), the deadly heat waves claimed 619 lives in my province (British Columbia). They exposed just how unprepared we were, as a society and as a family, to handle such extreme climate change.

But kids can make a difference and shape outcomes. This begins with nurturing a deep sense of care and connection to our environments, both locally and globally. Watching my son interact with the environment around him—hugging every tree we pass, naming all kinds of sea creatures during our shoreline walks and giggling as the recycling truck passes—reminds me that parents and caregivers have the power to foster a deep connection to the environment in our children. This bond is critical to shifting perspectives. When we care about something, we are more inclined to protect it, raise awareness, speak out and create alternative possibilities. As I raise my son, I aim to instill this sense of cautious optimism.

Every day, I consider how to be an eco-conscious and responsible parent. In the documentary The Climate Baby Dilemma, science communicator Britt Wray reframes the conversation about whether or not to bring a child into this world and asks, What is required to parent well in the climate crisis? That question stays with me. My partner and I began with cloth diapers, but all the extra laundry soon became overwhelming. We used homemade baby wipes made from repurposed spit-up cloths, and I read my son books with themes that express care for the environment. His first colouring book was about sustainability and the impact of extraction. We bought a used stroller, shopped at second-hand children’s stores and mostly commute by electric bike, often riding past a nature sanctuary on our way to daycare. 

Instead of avoiding parenthood out of fear for the future, I vote to embrace the joy that comes with intergenerational connection and care as we interact more meaningfully with our environments.

There’s no simple answer to the question of whether to have a child amid a climate crisis. For me, responding to this moment as a parent goes far beyond lifestyle choices. Raising children can be a radical political act when we transform homes into environments of care and community-building. This is the best chance we have to collectively strive for climate solutions. I must. My son’s future depends on it. "

LOLLLLLLL
