1) conceiving a child is not the only way to become a mother
2) raising a kid is carbon intensive but this is a red herring. ~58 tnnes of carbon emissions per kid per year. meanwhile 45 planes a week fly from manchester to heathrow which = 7488 tonnes per year https://twitter.com/XRebellionUK/status/1388035893932412930

framing of this fight as individual sacrifice which in no way ties to wider structural issues and inequalities driving climate change (e.g. 1% of flyers cause 50% of emissions ,15% of uk flyers take 75% of uk flights etc) is counterproductive at best + at worst, it's dangerous.

if someone has dreamed of conceiving a kid, then let them. big difference between that+ someone taking a flight across the country for ease//cost. we shld be fighting hard to improve infrastructure+dramatically lower train tickets, as one of the first ports of call in this fight.
