That’s exactly why I got a vasectomy. If it really comes down to it adopting is the better choice since those kids are already stuck existing so might as well just try to make the world slight less miserable for them
Fertility rates are already below replacement. Africa will probably also get there within our lifetimes, so there will be nowhere to get new people from
Except the second article does mention ‘it avoids a fight during an election yeah with industry and republicans’ but then later looks like they are trying to say that’s not at all why and want to take time. I don’t know, sorta seems like the election played a part in the decision
“Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency delayed plans to tighten ozone pollution standards until after the 2024 presidential election.”
Huzzah! More political BS playing games with the planet and all our lives.
We’re so doomed. A coworker asked if I was interested in kids and I said I would feel bad bringing a child into this mess.

This has nothing to do with the ozone layer in the stratosphere, but pollution in cities and industrial areas.
Honestly, it just seems like this shit’ll never stop and no one gives a fuck in Washington. Everyone’s too busy playing politics
“interested in kids” I think they mighta meant something else O.O
That quote is technically true, but based on the article they link, it doesn’t sound to me like the delay and the election are related.
Nor is ozone pollution related to the hole in the ozone layer.
No idea why that’s actually thrown in at all.
To catch people (like me :( ) who didn’t read the second article.

Well, zero chance of House Republicans even letting it come to a vote.
It blows my mind seeing people with little kids. Like, WTF is wrong with them?
Ah yes, USA defaultism at its finest. Like you don’t have any other countries working on it…
Okay, like china? India? Calm down. The US has a huge chunk of the co2 amount so it’s kind of important. Plus the article talks about it?
