    Infinitely incorrect. Not reproducing is the greatest lack of a negative impact a single person can have on the environment (which is all going vegan can do, not eating meat will never have greater than a zero net impact on emissions).

      Not having children can also at best have a net zero impact. If we’re taking opportunity costs for future actions into account, the single highest reduction in emissions for an individual is to die.

      In day to day life, veganism has the single highest impact. Still, I’ll never have (non -adopted) children, emissions are a part of it, but mostly because I don’t want to bring someone into the world that’s so thoroughly fucked at the moment

        I don’t know how this can be quantified, but id love to see how you try.

      Don’t stop there. You can end all your emissions now by killing yourself.

      NOTE: I would not like anyone to kill themselves. I am pointing out the logical end to this particularly stupid argument.
