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.
Correlation not causation etc
Right. There are many factors at play that lead to these outcomes, and there are always outliers
Yeah and selling ice cream leads to shark attacks 🙄
Countries with a well-educated population care more about the future of the planet and well-educated people have fewer kids. There's no "climate childlessness" like you seem to be implying.
I didn't say they are experiencing these slowdowns because of abatement policies, like you said with shark attacks and ice cream. Read my edit. I think I'm being misunderstood, and I don't think I clearly communicated what I was trying to. Your second paragraph literally summarized what I was trying to convey, which I thought I did in the tldr, but I'm better at numbers and graphs than I am with words lol.
