Comparing population growth to growth of traffic explains the fallacy in the "self-soothing" conceit that your children will make the world better (unlike most other people's children).

"'Thinking your child will be part of the solution, not the problem, is hubris.' We are the collapse. Our children are the collapse.

That article is brilliant, but the author's reasoning errs at the end when she asserts that her only choice, aside from reproducing and regretting the harm that will do, is to be unwilling to "believe the Earth can survive us." The error is exaggeration of little hope into zero hope.

"The Earth" here is a synecdoque and refers to Earth life as it exists today. The crucial point is that its chances of survival are not zero, and they depend on what we do today.

In particular, its chances are greater if we don't add to the population load it will have to cope with. Each additional birth makes it more difficult for the Earth to survive us, and that is a reason not to have children.

But if you think survival is impossible, you might conclude you may as well have a child and enjoy knowing per for 20 or 30 years till the climate disaster gets you both.
