> 8. Should I think about how many children I have (or don’t have)?

Maybe the worst point of the whole article, here is my point of view : educated and people aware of environment change have fewer kids, people with the opposite way of thinking have more kids and have the same education. We create a world where the people who don't care outnumber those who care, since the most praised government system is Democracy the power goes to the number.

Path to idiocracy (great message for a comedy movie).

I certainly don't share my parents' political views. Do you?

Are you arguing that climate change denial is a genetic trait?

You are getting awfully close to eugenics. That points not only at the moral problem with your willingness to sort human life into desirable/undesirable. It also offers a clue as to the accuracy of this mechanism: If these fascists one hundred years ago were making the exact same prediction you are making, and yet the world today is not overrun by these supposedly reproduction-happy Untermenschen... then maybe it just doesn't work like that?

More specifically: this fear is based on observed heritability of traits like intelligence, and also social status etc. While these are indeed hereditary, they quickly dissipate when considering more than a single generation.
