Vox: Stop telling kids climate change will destroy the world

Earlier this week Vox founder Ezra Klein wrote a piece titled “Your Kids Are Not Doomed” for the NY Times. Klein’s argument was that people who decide to not have children because of fear about climate change need to put things in perspective.
No mainstream climate models suggest a return to a world as bad as the one we had in 1950, to say nothing of 1150. Was the world so bad, for virtually the entirety of human history, that our ancestors shouldn’t have made our lives possible? If not, then nothing in our near future looks so horrible that it turns reproduction into an immoral act.
But as I pointed out, the commenters on his piece were not pleased. Nearly all of them argued against having children and some argued for discouraging others from having them. Despite that, Vox published a piece today which takes up the same argument. It’s titled “Stop telling kids that climate change will destroy their world.”
