150k vaccine deaths? Source please.
I added a source but hacker news isn’t fond of analysis or thinking in regards to political issues; it was flagged.

Talk all you want about how climate change is not a personal issue -- the decision to have children (and how many) is the singlemost environmentally impactful decision you will ever have direct, personal agency in making. For me, it's practicing what I preach, because I view climate change as the most pressing existential threat to our species (albeit on a longer timescale than my own life).
I have other justificiations, too -- in terms of life priorities, I simply consider children as "nice to have". For someone on the fence like me, this is enough. If you disagree... more power to you! It's your decision to make, and I mean that earnestly.

Everyone talks about climate change and then they go order like 20 things off Amazon. They participate in the system in a thousand different ways that perpetuates our reliance on fossil fuels. Because in reality they like to virtue signal instead of doing what is needed, which is sacrifice.
Instead they jet people in from all over the world, waste tons on new wardrobes for a one time use, buy multiple multi-million dollar properties adding to unnecessary demand, and then top it all off by showing us their fabulous yachts whiling away their time. You go, you protectors of the environment!
And they have the gall to tell the little people what to do.

Or non-religion is a precursor to the kind of moral weakness that stunts a natural desire to reproduce? Maybe those who believe they are bringing souls into the world, rather than bags of meat and water, tend to have a more positive outlook on having children? Maybe those with no religion let the media's doomsday climate change scenarios become their version of Revelation?
How is not having kids a moral weakness?
What's especially stupid about this is that almost nobody knows that we have a quite workable backup plan (solar geoengineering). It's not ideal but at some point it will have to be deployed. It'll be relatively cost effective and can be 'tuned' quite easily.

I saw your link...I would like an explanation for why it was flagged and removed.

Are you really suggesting that you want everyone with different political beliefs than yourself to all die?
He’s one of the good people who can tell us the right way to do things. Never mind the 150k vaccine deaths.
