SEATTLE — Erika Lundahl writes and performs her own songs. She works in Seattle for a company that publishes books on the environment. She thinks a lot about how best to occupy her place in the world. Yet, despite this full life, Lundahl, at 27, feels a clock ticking.
Her biological clock, yes, but also the one to fix global warming, or face the likelihood that she and her potential children will have to live in a seriously marginalized world.
“There is this sense that if you don’t have kids soon, you could be putting them in a harder position,” Lundahl said. “But if you do have them, that will not be easy either, with the storms, the intense droughts, the precariousness of the times. It’s like you are playing with two ticking time bombs — yours and the planet’s.”
For the Seattle friends, the quotidian questions about bearing children have not gone away. Lundahl reports a marked “uptick in my desire to procreate in the last couple of years.” Her boyfriend, who, at 29, is two years older, has not reached that point. Beyond concerns about climate change, there are typical career questions to ponder and student debts to be paid.
Lundahl decided, a little more than a year ago, that the topic was too big to leave her parents out of the discussion. When she described her fraught view of the future, they were shocked.
Erika recently got an IUD. “I felt like, ‘I am just going to put a stopper on this conversation for a while,” she said, laughing. “But it’s still something that feels real and present. That’s kind of part of the fabric of life, when climate change keeps making itself more known and felt.”

Do lesbos have a biological clock?
My experience with millennials is that they are more likely to drink the kool-aid than previous generations. Sometime in the next two decades, many will wake up and realize that they have been had. Probably when they are in line at the grocer’s waiting to buy bread.
The Ticking The Ticking ,LOL
The climate change trope is becoming tired and threadbare. It takes an exceptionally concerted effort to continue a lie for so long, and when the truth is revealed, the cognitive dissonance is going to be overwhelming.
They’re already bordering on mental breakdown over the potential for “something” to happen that when nothing ever comes to pass, they’re going to be pissed they spent so much time worrying about it.
Yes but it runs back counterclockwise. Seriously, children now born have less to fear from “”global warming” than they do a United States governed by those who have no attachment to the road map of western civilization.
How the Hell is that guy?
Global warning ..What utter rubbish!
Well, they have faced biased news, biased education and biased entertainment (movies and TV) for all their lives. And they think THEY are ‘woke’. I kind of feel sorry for them.
Narcissistic nihilism is the natural consequence of hedonism and decadence.These vile, barren women are a perpetual burden on society.
Here’s a bunch of climate change stuff, of the
flavor we don’t get to see enough of, because of politicians
deliberately ignoring clear simple facts from real
scientists, then repeatedly summarizing dogma and hogwash
“facts” they are relying on.

‘It takes an exceptionally concerted effort to continue a lie for so long’
accuweather was pushing this crap hard today, claiming that the climate has claimed its first species, some rat in Malaysia or somewhere...
The indoctrinated future for her./s
Erika Lundahl should wake up one morning handcuffed to the gate at Mecca, that would give it a new perspective on “climate change”.
-——Lundahl decided, a little more than a year ago, that the topic was too big to leave her parents out of the discussion. When she described her fraught view of the future, they were shocked.——
I would be shocked as well...to think I raised a moron would be shocking...
The very first sentence told you everything you need to know about this person's opinion on climate change.
We should encourage these people to have Hysterectomies and save the erf!......................
