Of course I wouldn’t blame a parent for making the best of a dystopian kakistocracy to survive. Though I think increasing numbers of people are opting not to become parents to future environmental refugees/peasants/bloodbags in the first place.

Sadly it's the opposite. The people choosing not to become parents are exactly the people who would LEAST become climate refugees.

The vast majority of children today are being born in regions they will have to flee, while the regions they will flee to are hollowing themselves out.

The scenario leans towards a future where the very people who were best positioned to save the world chose not to because the challenge of it made them sad.
