The anti-baby impulses of some environmentalist whackos have increasingly inspired progressive elites to arrive at the scientifically unmoored conclusion that having kids is “irresponsible,” given their potential environmental impact. This is both factually wrong and fundamentally anti-human.

“Over the past few years, I’ve been asked one question more than any other. It comes up at speeches, at dinners, in conversation. It’s the most popular query when I open my podcast to suggestions, time and again. It comes in two forms. The first: Should I have kids, given the climate crisis they will face? The second: Should I have kids, knowing they will contribute to the climate crisis the world faces?” Ezra Klein recently wrote in the New York Times.
