[British activist and musician Blythe Pepino] says such decisions are a “radical acknowledgment” of the threat that climate change poses to our futures. She does not consider birth strikes to be a solution to climate change, an option for everyone, or a permanent choice. She distinguishes the idea from anti-natalism, which advocates having no children to decrease the overall population.

Emphasis mine.

What’s the point of this article then? People aren’t not having kids to combat climate change, they just don’t want kids to grow up in a fuckec up world.

I hate it when articles undercut their own clickbait titles.
