Eric Holthaus, who used to do weather for Wall Street Journal, was reacting to Friday's findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Scientists found in the report that it was 'extremely likely' that humans are causing warming trends Holthaus said he has decided not to have children in order to leave a lighter carbon footprint, and has considered having a vasectomy He tweeted on Friday 'no children, happy to go extinct' The weatherman also said he is committed to stop flying as 'it's not worth the climate'

His next tweet said: 'Its a very emotional decision. Mixed feelings. adios babies?' According to another tweet from Holthaus, the Dutch artist known as Tinkebell, who calls attention to animal rights issues through works that use the remains of dead animals, had herself sterilised last week for a similar reason. Holthaus, who now writes for Quartz, has decided he will also reduce his carbon footprint by giving up on air travel. ‘I just broke down in tears in boarding area at SFO while on phone with my wife. I've never cried because of a science report before. #IPCC,’ was his first tweet on around 2pm on Friday. ‘I realised just now: This has to be the last flight I ever take. I’m committing right now to stop flying. It’s not worth the climate,’ he tweeted a few minutes later.

If he isn’t going to have children, then who exactly is he “saving the planet” for?

Might as well. By the 1980s we will be running out of resources anyway.

If these phoney Climate reports causes these dingdongs, and others like them, to snip it, I might change my opinion on this hogwash, and even encourage it to continue..

I’ll do it for my children, and grandchildren, and so on.. It’s the least I can do..
