> saying "having children is the worst thing for the climate" is a totally defeatist attitude towards the issue

But, spreadsheet at hand, it is.

It's always the parents that get offended by this. We are not judging anyone's lifestyle. Relax.

It really isn't though. Spreadsheet at hand, having American children is.

It's always the Americans that get offended by this. Relax. It just happens to be your fault.

If we're attributing the carbon emissions of children to their parents, then we can pass the buck all the way back up to a handful of apes that decided to descend from the trees.

Right. But to many "saving the future" is to have good future for their children.

Saying that basically sounds like saying "don't have children peasants, so our the world is better for our overlord's children"
