Climate change is not an existential threat and no climate scientist is claiming such. In the worst case scenario the excessive deaths are in the millions but it's not a humankind ending disaster and it's a really bad reason to not have children.

    If we're lucky, couple of billion will die.

    That’s such an unbelievably ignorant thing to say.

    Population decline is already happening naturally because of incredibly low birthrates. You wishing for billions to die from climate change puts you right up there with the most evil people in history.
