So having kids is ok, since it goes against the propaganda of carbon footprints being individual issues and not systemic? This article sucks, "I wanted kids even though I know they're life is gonna be hell" is such a selfish thing to do to a kid, and why? Cause you didn't feel like you had a choice and wanted to "rebel" against the people who say not to have kids? Cause you wanted to see what it was like?!? So fucked up, no empathy for your own childs future turmoil
