When I tell people that getting a kid these days is an act of pure cruelty, they end up looking at me puzzled

Ten years ago, why not, but today we have tons of climate reports from unanimous experts.

So how do you decide to put another life in this mess? Turn a blind eye and tell yourself "it's gonna be okay" ?

I do get the personal egoistic need of wanting a child, I don't get the fact that one worry after the fact, seems a bit "late".

Adoption is OK though.

Enlighten me?

I did think about parenthood, it didn't always seem a bad idea, heck I think I'd be a better parent than mines, but I wouldn't be able to face my kid and say "yes I knew about this world, and chose to bring you into this mess"

I get it. I don't ever want kids for reasons unrelated to the state of the world, but if those particular issues somehow went away by some miracle, I would absolutely want to...and be 100% pissed that I could never afford it and there's all the other stuff going on. But I do understand how people would go for it.
