huge parts of the world will be uninhabitable when 2 degrees is reached and you will see beginnings of mass migrations

We are already seeing mass migrations due to war. There is literally zero places on earth that will become less habitable than they are now with another .7 degrees warming. Come on, use your brain.

cuz theyre :censored2:ing retarded, why would you want to be poor AND have kids?

you are shooting yourself in the foot

does that fit your definition of "responsibility"???
People in the U.S. used to have more kids. We're barely at replacement level now and many Western countries are below replacement level. You run around screaming but truth is the world's population is reducing on its own. You also don't factor in man's ability to mitigate future issues through technological advances. You're Chicken Little.

if you have a kid i would expect an ROI

i wouldnt want to invest for 20 or 30 years for them to die when theyre 20 or 30.

You'd die too, so don't worry about it. Kids aren't an investment, they are a necessity. Since you are wrong about doomsday, you will be old, and have no one to take care of you. You will fall in your studio apartment, break your hip, and no one will find your mummified corpse until the landlord comes looking for his rent.

Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. - vader

technology is not the cure. faith in rebellion is. will power is. this is the force. our faith in our ability as average joes to exert our power to change the world.

You can raise your fist all you want. Technology will be the difference.

as it is right now you agree with me about housing prices and nuclear war

u just dont agree about climate collapse. housing prices alone is a real good reason not to have kids.

where has technology gotten us so far LOL
Well.

We have instantaneous access to all of the information ever recorded, basically.
We have cheap or free entertainment in whatever category we choose.
We have the ability to travel safer, and faster than ever before.
We have the ability to stay connected with family and friends over any distance, instantly.

Etc...

Yah, ask all the former Soviet citizens how their "401k's" are doing.

Technology has made it possible to feed 8 billion people. To communicate with anyone anywhere. To transport the masses. Seriously, how ignorant are you?
its also warmed the planet 1.3 degrees C, risked nuclear war several times since wwII, and done a bunch of other bad things

You choose to see worldwide failure because you can't cope with the responsibilities the world asks of adults.

The world will keep spinning. You can be a force for good in it, but that doesn't mean you choose a part time job, and live irresponsibly.

You choose your lifestyle as a copout to avoid facing reality.
