-) Climate change not an existential threat.

-) Sea rise is annoying, but not transformational (except for low lying cities)

-) Climate change will probably not be a big effect for people living in the first world. have already gotten about 25% of the global warming we are likely to see by 2100

-) Your parents had you despite the existential serious risk of nuclear war.

-) Now, in the 1st world is by far the best time to live in history. If you think you should have kids b/c thier quality of life wont be as good, this implies that you dont think anyone in the third world should have children

-) Not many people are likely to not have children from climate change, maybe 5% max. Likely to have a bigger effect on national politics than on carbon emission.

-) the children of parents not concerned about climate change will be less likely themselves to be concerned with climate change.

-) Could also just have kids and pay a carbon offset.
