A movement of women have decided not to procreate in response to the coming ‘climate breakdown and civilization collapse’. Will their protest be a catalyst for change?
As soon as Blythe Pepino got together with her partner Joshua two years ago, she felt “this overwhelming urge to create a family with him”, she says. “I think it was the fifth day after having met him, I said: ‘I’ve got to meet your parents.’ He was like: ‘You’re mad.’”
Then, late last year, she attended a lecture held by the direct action group Extinction Rebellion, which set out starkly the catastrophic reality of the changing climate. That galvanised Pepino, an activist and musician (she is the former singer of Vaults, now Mesadorm), to do research of her own and, eventually, to have a series of sad conversations with Joshua.

This is certainly an interesting article. AOC and others say they will not have children because of global warming.
It is probably for the best that these women never have children. Don't pass on the crazy/stupid gene.

Revenge of the cradle.
Progressive are going for self-extinction.

They will not have children because the whole thing is preposterous.
And, they’e lying to boot. Just watch as some of them wind up with kids. If they don’t abort them, that is.

What I mean is that “climate change” is a money scam to demonize the USA while China and India skate.
It’s a great way to help destroy the United States.
Which is why President Trump wasn’t going to allow “the Paris Accords” to steal more money.

Well, good. I hope they hurry out and get hysterectomies before they change their minds. Because climate change has always been here and will always be here.
