Not having children to save the environment won’t work. But feel free not to anyway. “A new paper argues that reducing the size of the human population would have close to zero effect on climate change. A baby born today will have a smaller carbon footprint than one born a decade or two ago, and their kids’ carbon footprints will be even smaller. As a result of population momentum, population numbers won’t decline for several generations – and by the time they do, people’s carbon footprints may be negligible anyway. The authors estimate that population reduction would lower global temperatures by only 0.05°C compared to population stabilisation.” — @SteveStuWill
