Wtf. Drive/fly less and bike/walk more. Take the train/collective transport. And if that's too troublesome for you at least vote for politicians who care about climate change and are willing to actually do stuff.
And please that's just so fucking selfish. Even if you don't get any kids there are still people who will have to live with the climate change that you created. For example I and all of my friends, cousins, classmates, etc will have to live with the consequences of climate change.
While I'm all in favour of individual action, I think it's very reductive to say that that will stop climate change. And even the politicians we explicitly vote for to actually do things don't, or not enough. And it's not like we chose to live in a world that is being destroyed by climate change, so how is it selfish if we leave behind other people who also do? They created it as much as me - barely, because none of us have any real recourse to deal with it.
