People always tend to raise eyebrows when I answer the question if it is not time to have children soon, the answer is always this: I don’t think that it would be right, no matter how much I want to. The reason why I respond as I do is the climate crisis.
published UN intergovernmental panel on climate change IPCC in its report on what the consequences will be for life on earth if the temperature rises by 1.5 degrees. It will lead to water shortages, more extreme weather conditions, big risks for agriculture are eliminated, and it is just a couple of examples.
Concretely, this means millions of people will suffer, starve, are forced on the run that the current system can not handle the crisis. A that these people would be my children.
want our children to suffer. There is still time for us to change the future. But only if we all join together to make sure that there actually is a future we are giving our children and not just a finish.
I want to be a mother.
