None of those are even close to as effective as not having kids though.

I'm not even talking carbon footprint entirely though, I mean why would you bring a human into a world that is almost surely over.

Exactly. If you have a heart, you don’t generate an innocent being to suffer and to unavoidably increase the suffering.

If the world is almost surely over, then you won't have a heart. These are the concerns of someone who thinks that life will go on for a long time.

I’m not surprised that you feel defensive.

I'm not surprised either. I doubt anyone here failed to feel the concern that we have a long life ahead, allowing hearts to remain and children to suffer.

But is it realistic? On what basis do you think we have such longevity ahead of us? Perhaps the claim that the world is about to end is the more viable conclusion?
