Everything, considering we'll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today's life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.

I don’t have kids of my own, and don’t plan to. I often wonder what kind of world my sisters children will grow up in.

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I'm currently pretty much infertile.

I hope they are. I just don’t trust corporations/governments to take the major and expensive steps required before it’s too late, and I have a hard time seeing past that. Individuals can only do so much.

Corporations/governments didn't take the major steps required. It is already too late.
