Climate Change and Having Kids

A relatively small study of 600 (atypical?) people, between the ages of 27 and 45, has been carried out by a Dr Schneider-Mayerson of Yale-NUS College in Singapore. All the individuals were 'already factoring climate concerns into their reproductive choices' (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/nov/27/climate-apocalypse-fears-stopping-people-having-children-study). The group was self-selected, lived in the US, were largely white, more highly educated and liberal (all from the University?). Some 'dry' concerns about the life-time carbon footprint of each child were expressed. The vast majority of the respondents appeared, however, to be more concerned about the welfare of their children in a climate-changed world. In deed, some were choosing not to have children, as they feared leaving them to struggle in a dying world. This illustrates how environmental considerations can impact upon people. It would be of interest to know whether the impact of climate change fears varies in different cohorts (including religions and political affiliations) of folk.
