Re: global warming

[(Anonymous)]

The majority of people don't want a lot of babies when they a) have the choice to prevent pregnancy in the first place, b) know most of the babies they have will survive, c) aren't dependent on their kids for unpaid labor or their only way to survive when they are old, and d) have the option of living fairly cushy lives if they don't have so many kids to drain their resources (as opposed to situations where a cushy life is not an option regardless).

So, I'm not really worried about people choosing to have lots of babies, because most won't, even if most people who want kids probably want at least one baby of their own. The global birth rate has been dropping for years. The global population is only still rising because of previous population surges - if you have a lot of women of childbearing age, then you will get a lot of babies out of them even if the average number of children per woman is low. E.g. there are lots of Millennials because there are lots of Boomers, even though Boomer women averaged fewer children than their mothers.

I think more widely and easily available birth control without wrapping it up in politics and stigma is a major fix-it. It would also be nice to have an option for men that is akin to the pill/shot or an IUD - not permanent, but not single-use like a condom. Also, working to decrease infant/childhood mortality rates and improve the health and welfare of vulnerable populations in general, in addition to just being a good thing all around, would also help reduce the birth rate.
