  1. I’d like to know what percentage of Australians are worried about having kids due to economic reasons, aside from climate change.

    And then I’d like to know what percentage of Australians are scared of having kids because of both climate change and economic concerns.

    There’s no way the combined total is less than 50%.

    But it’s okay, the invisible hand of the free market solves all problems. Just have faith and wait it out.

  2. I’m not Australian, but it’s in the top 3 reasons I got sterilized

  3. Childfree by choice man from India, and the upcoming Climate catastrophe is one of top reasons.

  4. I think  we have all the technical solutions we need for climate change.

    Unfortunately, the corporations and (right-wing) governments work together to intentionally block the fixes, just so they can profit short term. They attack science so much they get votes from vaccine deniers. They blame foreigners and minorities for any problem.

    And that is terrifying.
