Children and global heating

mercredi 19 juillet 2017 à 02:00

A study confirms: the biggest thing you can do to reduce global heating is to have fewer children.

How about having no children? Your life will be tremendously easier, and if you would like to care for children, there are many options, ranging from adopting a child to running activities for children, which won't increase the world's population but will make children's lives better.

You can also operate at large scale by campaigning for progressive politicians which will help spare children the stunting effect of growing up in poverty (and thus stress).

Having fewer children in the US is very important because Americans emit so much greenhouse gas per person.

Having fewer children in Africa is very important, even though the emissions per capita there are much smaller, because Africa is on track to have more population than it can grow food for.

Global birth control efforts are faltering.
