When I ask younger people why they don't want children, many answer me that they don't want to raise children in a world doomed due to global warming.

It is not exactly the same argument, but the idea that children are bad for the environment is implied (at least that's how I understand it)

I think “doomed” means it’s happening no matter if children are put in this world or not.

But I can totally relate to the fact that raising children without future seems absurd.

Woah, really? That many people believe the future is so without hope??

As in "I think the world will such a bad place to be a human being, that not being a human at all would be preferable"?

That's a lot of fear and fragility …
