@clhubes Love makes a family. "Having a child" is a convenient expression, but it shows how short sighted procreation is. We're only children for a couple of decades, and are adults three times as long. Creating a new person has an 80-year impact on planet and people.

Many, including some climate scientists, say reducing births would be too slow to prevent 2ºC. Maybe so, but they suggest planting trees, which also takes a long time for results. We should be breeding less and planting more. Clearcutting established forests needs to stop.

#WorldHumanitarianDay A good day to consider humanitarian efforts to enable everyone the freedom to enjoy their basic human right to not co-create as many new people as they wish. Each human not created will never suffer or die, and will leave more resources for existing people.
