My kids are GenZ & already they're refusing to procreate. Still have time to change their minds, but there's way more peer acceptance for not having kids than when I was their age. It's not just climate, but also finances, neither of which are going to improve (although with labor crunch may come higher wages).
I don't see a tipping point: I see us getting sicker (microplastics, PFAS, early cancer, various plagues), dying sooner, and *also* having fewer kids.
