Yet Again: Warmists Wonder If Other People Should Be Having Kids

This comes via the publicly funded (read: confiscatory taxation) NPR (which is also having a hissy fit over not have the type of diverse comments they want) as they listen to a teacher at a publicly funded higher baby sitting service education center

Should We Be Having Kids In The Age Of Climate Change?

Standing before several dozen students in a college classroom, Travis Rieder tries to convince them not to have children. Or at least not too many.

He’s at James Madison University in southwest Virginia to talk about a “small-family ethic” — to question the assumptions of a society that sees having children as good, throws parties for expecting parents, and in which parents then pressure their kids to “give them grandchildren.”

Why question such assumptions? The prospect of climate catastrophe. (snip)

Rieder wears a tweedy jacket and tennis shoes, and he limps because of a motorcycle accident. He’s a philosopher with the Berman Institute of Bioethics at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and his arguments against having children are moral.

Interestingly, he has at least one child. This may seem like a cheap shot, but, Warmists rarely practice what they preach.

Back in the classroom, Rieder puts this in less technical terms: 4 degrees of warming would be “largely uninhabitable for humans.”

“It’s gonna be post-apocalyptic movie time,” he says.

The room is quiet. No one fidgets. Later, a few students say they had no idea the situation was so bad. One says he appreciated the talk but found it terrifying, and hadn’t planned on being so shaken before heading off to start the weekend. (snip)

Conceivable Future targets climate activists immersed in scary data. There’s already a term for how some feel: climate trauma.

It’s no wonder kids are mental basketcases and unable to deal with Real Life when they’re taught this, well, let’s just call it “crap”.

And since you asked, yes, the insanity does keep going on and on and on with this article. Have fun.

    Idiot. Post-apocalyptic movie time happens in the proverbial year 2100 after the islamicists and inner city welfare dwellers have been procreating at seven times the rate of the tweedy nerds of the world.

    We have been under the population ‘replacement rate’ since the 1970s. Our population has continued to grow only due to immigration.

    Warmists should not be having more children. They got that right.
