In my role as a radio show host and simply meeting so many people through my climate activism, I keep encountering young women who are very concerned about having children – and countless parents who are worried about the world their children are inheriting. It is, frankly, very sad. I have children myself, and I know that it is very unlikely I will be leaving them a better world than I enjoyed.
This short survey seeks to estimate how many people are worried enough about climate change, peak oil, the economy, or other factors that they are considering not having children – or regret having the ones they already have because the world will turn into a disaster in their lifetime. Please complete it and add any comments to this post about your feelings on your children’s future.

This post was mentioned on Reddit by goldenbb: No. If you thought like this you would not have had children in any decade for the past 5000 years….
uberVU, you don’t seem to know much about the mechanics of making children. Children will always be made for a variety of reasons. But I feel it is a worthwhile endeavor to ask how present or future parents feel about the world that the next generation will inherit. Current prognosis is not good.
Good points, I think I will definitely subscribe! I’ll go and read some more! What do you see the future of this being?
