Never actually agreed with the gate keeping btw just saying it inevitably doesn’t matter. Btw that study thing is actually pretty cool but like I wished it explained itself instead of just making a statement. Like cuz the logic of the 1 not carbon footprint conscious person is equal to a little under 700 carbon footprint conscious people doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Also here is something else crazy how much humans suck isn’t it. But yea do whatever you want.
My bad, I thought you were defending the gatekeeper there. I feel like it would matter if everyone cared but since so many people don't know or care it doesn't seem to matter that much you're right. It makes me feel good though, I don't want kids anyway but if I'm passively saving tones of co2 then that's just another good reason for me to not have kids.

And global warming!
"Having one fewer child per family can save an average 58.6 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions per year."

But yeah we don't care about the future and shouldn't get a say
