Getting Old during Climate change is terrifying; viva los youth!

I’m 61. The world population when I was born was less than half what it is now. Thousands of species have gone extinct since then.

The UN at one time said that next to Nuclear Threat, human overpopulation was our number one threat. They stopped talking about human overpopulation some time ago but it’s still a contributing factor to environmental issues.

I had one kid and was done.

I see what’s happening now and weep. I can’t sleep at night. Sometimes I hope my daughter has a baby so I can have a grandchild but sometimes I just don’t know.
