Ay cabrón

Edit: Since people seem to think I'm saying abating climate change causes fewer children, I'm not. Communication is not my strongpoint - but I have a B.B.A in Econ with an emphasis in Sustainable Supply Chains, and a Master's in Quantitative Finance, so let me rephrase this. Countries that implement more policies to fight climate change are typically populated by people who care and are educated about climate change, who are also less likely to have more children due to the current path humanity is on.

Something vaguely related to this topic is the fact that countries with more laws designed to abate climate changing effects are also experiencing a slowdown in the rate with which they have children. Whereas many countries with relatively high birthrates generally do not have very strict climate standards. Overall levels of general education also play into this.

Tldr; Generally, the more people know about climate change, the less likely they are to have children.

Oh dear, not again

They can't just ride it out?

I think one of the ideas of Star Trek was that humanity should not have to undergo terrible things in order to finally realize our potential. Rather, I think it was to show that humanity could achieve wonderful things as long as we try to do what's best for us all, righting any wrongs we commit along the way

Right, that civilization only made its greatest and most immense leaps during and after times of great duress.

I am cheap.

Now do Mississippi and Alabama

Germany had something similar, but it was taken away and reintroduced at a higher price :/

It's absolutely disgusting to me just how many people fail to properly and consistently clean their earbuds. To me, wearing dirty earbuds is equivalent to rewearing dirty socks.

Sharing is caring :)

That's all I needed to convince me to live like it's the 60s again

Americans are more like the English than they realize lol

That seems excessive but I can do that. Thank you for being so thorough - it makes me feel more secure :)

If it's good, that's great! If it isn't good, then I hope everyone involved enjoyed making it. This isn't the first time we've been through this.

And yet I still find wholesome comments on Lemmy :)
