Young people around the world are suffering from anxiety and stress relating to global warming. For Kansas Citians in their 20s and 30s, the future of the planet is becoming central to their decision about whether or not to have children.
Angelica Chavez-Duckworth grew up wanting to be a mom. As a child with a little baby doll always in hand, she says her early maternal instincts earned her the nickname “Little Mommy.”
Now 26, and keenly aware of a worsening climate crisis around her, Chavez-Duckworth isn’t sure she’ll ever become a mother.
“As a kid, I thought, ‘This is something I’m going to do, something I’m going to be,’” Chaves-Duckworth says. “Fast forward to now — having to be in the space of contemplation because I don’t even know if I can protect my [younger] brother.”

More people should be questioning having a family - not just with climate change. If someone isn't ready for kids, they definitely shouldn't have them. That's why it's extremely important to allow people to have ALL methods of healthcare to help them in family planning.

I'm sick of these Climate change morons.The climate is always changing. First they said that it was global warming. Now they say that it's climate change. There as many educated scientist that rebuff the climate change bullshit as those who advocate it. Maybe it's good that these climate change idiots dont have kids that will be taught to follow the herd and not to think for themselves.

Tell us you're ignorant on the topic without telling us...
“Global warming” refers to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. “Climate change” refers to the increasing changes in the measures of climate over a long period of time – including precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns.
"It’s worth noting that while climate change and global warming are often used interchangeably, global warming—the recent rise in the global average temperature near the earth’s surface—is just one aspect of climate change."
