Teens are pledging not to have kids until leaders take action on climate change (generation, solutions)

[LauraC]

It's like a child threatening to hold their breath during a temper tantrum. You ignore them and let them pass out. As soon as they do they'll start breathing again. Pretty soon they'll get tired of doing it. Do they think someone is going to beg them to have kids?

Good, fewer people on welfare.

I fully support them not having any kids. As was stated, the government isn't going to stop naturally occurring climate change.

But people can control themselves and stop spawning. The less idiots we have out there, the better. I am 100% behind these people not having children.

That does not, however, alleviate anything because of all of the other cultures in this world who have tons of kids per family. Nor does it alleviate the massive amounts of consumption by people today. We just have to keep building new things! Because we want it! And our luxurious lives are not luxurious enough until we have more buildings! And things! Shiny new things!

I support liberals in this matter! Great idea!

Meh, they're teens. They took up some cause that didn't involve having the latest iPhone. Good for them.

In 10 years they'll never remember they did this and life will go on as it always does.

I'm not having kids until I take action on all the b.s. in my life that I screw up on my own.

It's a lifelong endeavor that will probably continue into my next 5 billion lifetimes...if you're down with that.

This will naturally mean fewer Democrat voters, which is fine by me

Teens say lots of crap.

Lol, another useless gesture so the millennials can avoid having to make any real meaningful sacrifices.
Here you go, I will pledge to help stop climate change by only drinking premium single malt scotch, just doing my part people.
