If I am genuinely scared about global warming is that enough to stop me having kids?

Question

If I am genuinely scared about global warming is that enough to stop me having kids?

Answer 1

Yes. Save the planet. Overpopulation contributes to global warming

Answer 2

Global warming is false.  The whole idea was brought up by Al Gore whose film, An Inconvenient Truth is so filled with half truths, made up facts, and inconsistencies that I'm surprised so many people took this seriously.  He even lifted parts of other movies to put in his own and the movie is only based on 20 years of weather patterns, not several million.  

The only thing Global warming is about is us paying taxes to resume our lifestyles.  And paying this nebulous idea of carbon taxes because of carbon footprints.  It's all false.  

And Now I see another casualty of reason in that you and people like you are afraid of having children because of some made up nonsense that man is altering the weather of planet Earth.  Absurd and sadder still.

Answer 3

In your case, this would be wise.

Answer 4

Adoption is an Option.  Disease, poverty, and warfare in other countries has left numerous orphans in the world. If you're open to the idea of an international adoption (thanks to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush there's a great tax break to help the expenses) I'd strongly encourage looking into it.

Answer 5

Global warming is a big scam manipulated by the governments worldwide to provoke panic attacks in societies and to control them with brainwashing techniques.

The most viable solution from the governments is to become addicted to Prozac.

My 2 cents.

Answer 6

No. If everyone thought that then the human race would end. Humans are amazingly good at adapting and no matter what comes along, we WILL survive it if we don't give up. Have kids and raise them to be caring and strong and they will help to change the world.

Answer 7

No, that is not enough, but global warming along with;

the credit crunch,

oil prices,

inflation,

crime,

overpopulation,

de-aforestation,

and the continued threat of alien invasion, just might be!

Answer 8

It depends on your level of how scared you are.

Answer 9

Global warming doesn't exist, global cooling has started, dont give in to the fear mongerers, they are messing with our heads big time, why should you not have kids? Who says these so called experts are right anyways? they have been wrong so many other times. technically speaking the world could just blow up at any time so whats the use in living at all? lets just all kill ourselves

Answer 10

britain has a president?!

Answer 11

Yea - Ted Turner says that by the time they get out of college, there will be no more food and your kids will be cannibals, Prince Charles says the world is going to end in just 18 months, and Dr. Hawkings says it's going to be 450 degrees and raining sulfuric acid.

So unless you're fine with your kids eating the bodies of those killed by the sulfuric acid rains, you shouldn't have any kids.

Answer 12

You might give birth to someone who can solve the problem

Answer 13

you can't live in fear. to have or not have kids is your choice, but decisions should never be made out of fear....

Answer 14

if you are beyond stressed about it

if you have a child

itself and you could die of blood loss

please give me a thumbs up

Answer 15

no, have a family

get solar panels

use less water

less gasoline

etc

Answer 16

No, you would still need to use contraception. Being scared never prevents pregnancy.

Answer 17

No you don`t have to worry about that besides you can always leave a global warming for people that really can do something to stop it or at least delay the final impact before you get pregnent or even better give birth.

Answer 18

Where do you live now? I mean even in the worst case scenario, there will still be decent places to live in the USA much less the world. I mean Canada can be pretty nice if it warmed up a few degrees.

Answer 19

what r u on about?

Answer 20

While you are taking your current medication, I do not think children are a good idea. Go to rehab first.

Answer 21

Depends if you allow your fear to control your decisions in life.

Answer 22

Fartilization is nature of creature so you should not stop it to being the ho man it is your responsibility to fiend out atleast one farmula to stop GW that way if every one in world fiend one farmula to stop it and implemat that furmula in life I sure that GW take sort time  to stop.

My furmula is one kid is enugh

Answer 23

you shouldn't worry, anyone who tells you global warming is real (with the exception of people like our President, he's just getting bad information or something), don't know what they are talking about.  32,000 scientists recently signed a nation-wide petition debunking that there is even a consensus on this so called 'global warming'.

The earth's climate is always changing, this is all normal.  besides, it actually has been getting 'cooler' since 2006, so you see... NORMAL.  Besides, CO2 is GOOD, without it, life would not be possible (and neither would soda - ha).

Answer 24

Ask the Chinese, they are the worlds worst producers of factory toxins and they seem to be everywhere?

Answer 25

Don't let it stop you having kids because some of what the government and people are telling you on the TV is just proper gander.  I have watched many debates on this subject and although there is slight global warming, it's nothing to worry about.  Have your family and be happy, don't lose out on your life..

If the scientists that work for the government are right, we would not see any changes in over hundreds of years, possibly more than that Hun...

Answer 26

If things like that scare you that much, it would be wise not to have children.

Having children is the most wonderful thing in the world, but the worries and fears that you have will go on for the rest of your life from the minute you have them.   If Global warming scares you so much that you have to ask this question, then maybe kids are not for you.

Answer 27

As several have mentioned already fear is not an effective contraceptive.

Global warming is real and if humans as a whole do not wake up to that fact soon and start changing their behaviour it will get a lot worse. Is this something to be scared about? No. The real scary part is the nay sayers. The bigots and la-la land people who refuse to accept reality.

If the majority were to accept GW caused by humans is a reality and started to tackle the problem, we and our children would very soon be living healthier cleaner wiser lives. Europe is already showing the way and will no doubt reap the economic benefit of developing cleaner more environmentally sustainable technology. The silly ones who refuse to see, will be left to buy the technology from those who are creating it now.

We have been living in a fools paradise consuming wastefully finite resources when there is absolutely no need to. The GW issue is opportune as it forces us to develop more sustainable life styles.

If people continue to pretend that they don't have to act, then unnecessary millions of people around the world will die and hundreds of millions will suffer needlessly, but I guess these people have no feeling for anyone else but themselves.

If the vast majority of people act and act responsibly then the worst of the damage to our planet will be avoided and our children will inherit a better world, it is up to us.

Answer 28

Before you know it there will be a vaccine...never mind they already have one, it's called antidepressants.

Answer 29

Fear is very bad and especially when it is propagated from a Gore lie.

Answer 30

well the threat of nuclear war and overpopulation did it for me in the 70s, or at least that was my main excuse.

do you need a reason not to have kids? oh, yes of course, you do! i forgot the 30 years of social pressure i just went through - roll on menopause lol!

seriously though, not wanting to bring a child into an uncertain world is only natural. and not wanting to add to the problem is admirable.

and as don pointed out, fear wont do it on its own....you will need to use contraception too ;-)

Answer 31

Take a positive from a negative.

Have s*x.

If you are that worried about global warming you will at least die happy.

If you are wrong to worry, being a nun was just a bad dream.

If you are right yours may well be the seed that starts the new dawn of mankind.

We all die, how soon is not something we control, that has nothing to do with procreation, that is survival of the species?
