1 in 4 Childless Adults Say Climate Change Has Factored Into Their Reproductive Decisions
Morning Consult ^ | 09 28 2020 | LISA MARTINE JENKINS

11% of childless adults say climate change is a “major reason” they don’t currently have children, while 15% say it is a “minor reason.”

Childless Hispanic adults are especially likely to say climate change has factored into their reproductive decisions, at 41%.

For some childless adults, climate change looms large when they consider whether or not to reproduce. According to recent Morning Consult data, 11 percent of that group say climate change is a “major reason” they do not currently have children, and 15 percent say it plays a minor role.

While climate change was among the least-cited reasons for those who do not currently have children (behind financial, political and career concerns, among others), the fact that it comes to mind for a quarter of respondents underscores the fact that its impacts are becoming increasingly visible to the public.

Childless Hispanic respondents were especially likely to say their concern for climate change has impacted their plans, with 41 percent saying it is a major or minor reason they don’t have children. Thirty percent of Black respondents and 23 percent of whites said the same.

This demographic breakdown largely mirrors responses to another poll asking respondents how much of a role climate change has played in recent natural disasters; Black and Hispanic respondents to that survey were especially likely to say climate change contributed substantially to events like the ongoing wildfires scorching the West Coast.

If you really restrict having a child because of “climate change” you simply prove to me that its better you do not have a child in the first place.

Some of these people are going to be really upset 30 or so years down the road when the term “carbon footprint” will just be a snicker word. We will need to remind them who misled them, because the MSM will have moved on just like they did after Mueller delivered his Russia report.

They say climate change, I say just plain selfish!

They don’t want to share their wealth or toys with anybody else, especially some dirty, stinking, squalling brat!

But that’s a good thing; when their DEAD they won’t be leaving any mentally deficient, genetically inferior offspring behind them.

Remember Stephanie Mills who was the valedictorian of the Mills College class of 1969 who vowed not to have children because of her fear of overpopulation? Well, she never did. She lives like a hermit in a remote part of Michigan. She writes books and collects lots of awards from the snowflake crowd for “Living her philosophy”. Meanwhile, the “population bomb” bombed! The Fake News of its day.

Who knew that when it came to “snowflakes” and their belief systems, that one day they’d be saying “sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!”

The problem with most of their beliefs isn’t what they believe in, but how little they realize that what they believe is NOT!

Maybe diet. Maybe drugs. But not climate. People have babies from the polar regions to the equator.

I agree; this BS is put out there to justify selfish decisions or mask the fact that nobody would breed with them.

I have no issue whatsoever if people don’t want children; I think it is ridiculous for them to say “climate change” is the reason. They may as well say they are afraid Martians will devour them...
