> we need more kids … if we want to have a better future
Funny, a vast majority of folks have children (>85% in the US), and yet, here we are.

Birthrates in the US are going down from 25.000 per 100.000 to 10.000 per 100.000.
Given this assertion, how is it possible that global warming even happened in the first place, when there were, as you state, bigger birth rates than we have now?
Most of the issues we’re facing today - especially global warming - weren’t caused just yesterday. They’ve been in progress for decades, and we’ve known about the potential issues for decades (I remember such concerns when we started opening holes in the ozone some 30 years ago).
Sorry, I find your assertion as a sign of depression and helplessness
>So I would say we need more kids in the world if we want to have a better future.
is funny because birth rates are at the lowest they have ever been. So it is brings up the question that if insufficient kids are the problem, then how did we end up in the current world?
A minority of people not wanting to add to the population growth (and being OK with that decision) will never incite the death of humanity.
No, let's start reducing our population to somewhat sustainable levels. We can always start having more children it the future.
It's not related to the amount of people, people just generally optimize for short term economics, at the expense of everything else, even existence.
I have a nightmare that the woman smart enough to create sustainable energy is currently an illiterate 14 year old girl being married to someone three times her age.
I believe 99% of human potential is wasted. Because the typical human spends every waking moment of their lives just trying to make a living.
