A drop of rain is small indeed, but many drops can fill oceans.

It is scary indeed, to think we can't help raise children unless we give birth to them ourselves, while ignoring millions of struggling kids today. Why can't we love them as our own? Ultimately, we all come from the same source [1].

Thanks for the flowery language master Yoda.

I am in no way advocating against adopting children. That is a wonderful thing to do for another human being. It has very little to do with climate change and surely you understood that the original comment was discussing having no kids at all.

The carbon footprint of your child is there whether or not you adopt it.
