The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.
I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

Oh, for sure. There will be battles for resources that would probably dwindle exponentially. There will be loads of suffering throughout. I’ve worried so much for years and have made my own contributions to reduce my carbon footprint - recycled and reused as much as I can, not buying a car, among others - and it’s so exhausting to keep caring when the main perpetrators get to keep doing it abundantly relatively scot-free. At this point, it’s just easier for my own mental health to choose my battles and to choose which one to worry more and hopefully help in that aspect. This is one of the main reasons I’ve decided to become childfree; it’s just cruel to bring life to an uncertain world where the bad guys run rampant.
Choosing to have kids at this point is just choosing to live through Grave of the Fireflies. No thanks.
