Unpopular opinion but "having children is bad for the environment" is a bad take

Why a generation is choosing to be child-free

The biggest contribution anyone can make to the climate crisis is not to have children. So why do we still treat parenthood as the default?

Same as "there are too many people on earth"

It's passive and it treats the current human condition like it's an unquestionable norm
The issue is not the population, the issue is not people having children, the issue is greed, capitalism, and consumption.
The issue is the hoarding of wealth and land in the hands of a few. The issue is the wasteful use of nature resources.
There are too many people on earth to be consuming how we currently are, but there are not too many people on earth
