ok

well I am not going to speak to what other posters said or did, but I think I was nothing but respectful to UD, and that we just happened to disagree.

Many species other than human will suffer way worse in that span. I don't recall the percentage exactly, but there was a huge wall of text in some zoo I visited explaining why some percentage of animals and plants would be extinct by 2050 or around that. It's pretty sad.

Is it ethical to reproduce in the era of climate change? Do ethics even matter anymore? WILL ethics matter anymore?

16 to 55 % of the plants and animals extinct by 2070 apparently according to:

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/21/w...rnd/index.html

Where they're quoting this study:

Ethics are a social construct.

Serious answer, it's probably not significantly less ethical than otherwise. I know some antinatalist who argued antinatalist should have kids so they can teach them antinatalism.

How old were people when first taught about global warming? I feel like it was 3rd or 4th grade but I may be confusing with ozone.

Like MAYBE the one sun said was bit off color but neither of the posts by cn or I that you quoted remotely rise to the level of the accusation you made.

I am not even sure the issue you have with what I said—there was no intended humor in that post. I was refuting an actual thing UD said—he claimed I was defending Stalin because I said the Holocaust was worse than anything Hitler did.

he has said that me mocking nazi apologia fully justifies wishing suffering and death on me, that ud did nothing wrong but maybe I should've been banned

why take anything he says seriously?

Which is your bigger concern there? Contributing to overpopulation or not wanting to bring a life to this world, who would suffer the consequences of the climate change?

Except that's not what you were mocking, but you of course know that. I said his reaction was understandable, don't see how that's same as saying fully justified. And nowhere did I say UD did nothing wrong.

You also didn't bother to look up why he was offended and instead were taunting for him to find you proof, like he has the burden of proof there. It's on you. Why take anything I say seriously? I bother to look up things and not present my pointless opinions as facts like you do.

Its still in design stage so I wonder if it ever comes to fruition.

That cool teenager who's cleaning the oceans actually took theory to practice, and is a hero, but, this seems like a pipe dream.

Also, lol, its easier to constantly re-freeze the ocean than it is to just switch off a few lights, cycle more, destroy greed-driven capitalism, and eat local food.

Not sure if serious. I would assume consumption grows as population grows, which then at least indirectly, contributes to the climate change. How large population do you think a communist Earth could sustain without affecting negatively to the climate?

Not wanting to bring someone into a dying world.

Overpopulation is a eugenicist myth.

I know someone who doesn't want to have kids because passing on mental illness. Reasonable, eugenics propaganda, she doesn't want kids and using it to rationalize, something else.
