With an unstoppable global warming, overpopulation, and food and water shortages.

28. Over population was once a big concern

I don't have a clue why that stopped being true. As we plant more and more concrete and less trees, and take up every empty space on this planet, it isn't really a question of why people have babies (for me). The question is what terrible things will befall us as Mother Earth tries to thin the herd. We will see a lack of water, food and possibly epidemics. The Chinese had the right idea, have one baby per family for awhile and reduce a population that is unsustainable.

While I love babies and had one child, I never considered more than one for exactly this reason. I don't think most people ever consider these things when they have children, though. Not to mention that increasing the population is usually considered to be economically desirable to provide even more tiny little consumers.
