Why do people continue to have children even when there are cities in the world suffering from drought already?

[Charrow56]

aren't people aware children who are born today will not have water due to global warming? Why bring a person to this world to suffer when she/he didn't ask to come here?

In the same way that children born in the 1980's will have too MUCH water, due to Miami being under seventeen feet of it by 1995? Or the oceans rising due to ice caps melting and raising sea levels by 300 feet, drowning everyone in Bangladesh by 2010? Or National Park having all those signs saying that by 2020, all the glaciers would be gone? Well, they took those signs down, since the glaciers are still there; at least THEY can admit it.

Look, human behavior has an outsized effect on the environment; I don't think anyone smarter than an anteater would deny THAT. But spreading alarmism based on ideas that've been repeatedly disproven isn't going to convince ANYBODY. You'd have better luck telling them D&D will turn their children into devil worshipers. Back in, say, the 1400's, people had kids who *literally* wouldn't have clean water; they adapted and changed that reality. Or they didn't, and died. The world used to be an extremely brutal place, and civilization has changed that- now it's a mostly brutal place.

What you SHOULD be asking is why people are still allowed to grow a grass they can't eat that they don't bother feeding to their animals; a European weed that can't survive on the water we get here, which has to be given external water while droughts are going on. This, on some of the world's best cropland, while people are going hungry.

Not everyone believes what you believe. And many people do want to live their lives on the premise that disaster is waiting somewhere just around the corner.

So just be irresponsible and have cildren to come suffer? It is not what I believe, it is science, fact, reality! Did you know that Moneterrey in Mexico, the second most populated city in that country doesn't have anymore water at all? Do you think people are making that up just for fun?

[OlderAndWiser]

Anyone who disagrees with you is stupid! That is a VERY convincing argument.

[Charrow56]

Yu dindt answer any of my questions. What are your aguments?

[OlderAndWiser]

Perhaps you missed it.

Q. Why do people continue to have children even when there are cities in the world suffering from drought already?

A. Not everyone believes what you believe. And many people do want to live their lives on the premise that disaster is waiting somewhere just around the corner.

Most people don’t care until a problem directly effects them personally.


Over 90% of millennials are expected to never be able to afford a house.


Their children will have it even worse.


But apparently nobody cares what kind of adult life a child will have as long as their personal baby craving is satisfied. 😒

Because people aren't going to stop reproducing just because someone on the other side of the globe is having a shit time. It's the people in areas of drought and famine that need to have less kids not us

[Charrow56]

Do you know what globalization means? Yeah, what happens in one place of the world ends up affecting everyone. Just like it happen with Covid. California already suffers droughts, did yu know that? your little thinking is what needs to stop

[Anonymous]

What now? Sorry, but I fail to see how the weather in some city I don't even live in (or the city I DO live in for that matter) has anything to do with whether or not I have kids.

[Charrow56]

Cause this planets resources are not unlimited. We re clearly overpopulated and droughts are a sign of this!

[Opinion Owner]

How are droughts a sign of overpopulation? The world had droughts LONG before there were ever any people.

People are selfish and short sighted
