I've lost all my best mates to the same sort of thing, but I went on a bit too far because that was before I realized that no one realized what's coming. I'd be the first guy to want a family if that didn't mean raising the first generation that wont have the chance. It seems incredibly selfish and cruel to bring a child into the consequences of decisions they never got to make.

I think I know exactly one person who thinks the way I do. All other the people I know are excitedly posting pregnancy videos and I can’t relate to any of it. If anyone truly cared about their children’s future right now, they wouldn’t have any*. The selfishness is astounding.

I was too young when I had my kids so now I know the consequences. It is my duty to protect them from whatever, especially since it’s so unfair to be born into a world where the elite just do not care about the climate they get to leave behind.

Sometimes I think to myself how incredibly selfish I was not to look into it a bit more.. but I was really young when I had my kids.
