threat of climate change looms

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said last week that some young people are concerned about having children given the threat climate change could pose to future generations.
The comments drew intense media attention and some pundits called the comment "fascistic."
But a new INSIDER poll found that nearly a third of Americans - and about 38% of those between 18-29 years old - believe a couple should consider the negative effects of climate change when deciding whether or not to have children.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made headlines last week when she suggested that some young Americans are concerned about having children because of the threat that climate change could pose to future generations.

"Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around ... there's scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult," Ocasio-Cortez said during an Instagram livestream. "And even if you don't have kids, there are still children here in the world, and we have a moral obligation to leave a better world for them." So, the 29-year-old New York progressive went on, young people are grappling with the question: "Is it OK to still have children?"

The comment garnered significant media attention and blowback from pundits, who argued the remark amounted to Ocasio-Cortez advocating for a ban on children.

2. Recommended.

The word is often overused, but climate change is truly an existential crisis.

And many pundits, as is their tendency, diverted from the actual point because it is easier to ignore the coming crisis and focus on sensationalism.

3. Millennials?

My wife and I are Boomers and we deliberately avoided having kids because we could see the world was becoming a very unpleasant place. It's not that you have to be a Millennial to see the writing on the wall, it's just that it becomes clearer and more people see it with each generation.
