The fuck do children have to do with the fact that the earth is not going to change in 20 years?!? Fucking holy shit, Sprout, do you REALLY think that your children are going to die from asphyxiation when they are 20 years old or something? WTF is wrong with you?!?!
You also don’t live on the west coast and experienced fire season nor have you lived in an area that has experienced prolonged drought.
What we know is that weather extremes will become more prevalent and that the global food supply chain is petrol intensive and not very resilient. Temperatures are increasing too fast for plant species to adapt. It’s also causing de-synchronization of collaborating species, crops might not get pollenated, migration disruptions.
Micro-plastics have been detected in mammalian placentas and “forever chemicals” (PFAS) is detected in rainwater globally. Birth rates are declining across species.
You can continue your short-sighted strawman argument however it’s being more accepted that the earth has entered the sixth mass extinction event.

While I agree that on the basis of geologic timescales we are insignificant other than being another layer in the geological record, only a fool would walk off a cliff that could be avoided, simply by becoming aware.
Our nuclear waste alone has caused a shift in the trajectory of life evolving on this planet. We have impacted all four elements with the sickness of our fifth.
