I am the cabrón you say?!?

Yes. this is a truly shitty post.

You don’t know what carbon is do you?

About 17 tones of co2 is emitted per person per year in the US. That’s about 200x more carbon emitted than your whole body weight each year, not all of which is carbon. Plus that’s not even mentioning that your body weight doesn’t contribute to global warming.

I’m overweight, so I wouldn’t mind

What are you talking about? Who is them? Why would anybody care about that little bit of carbon in your body when every single human “consumes” much more every day?

So we’re sequestering carbon.

Speaking as one of “them”, yes. Yes you are.

where is Jessica Hyde?

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.
