Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

If I were to choose to have kids despite climate change, doesn't that prove that I don't care about climate change?

The point is that climate change is bigger than one or two people, it's about changing our entire societies so that we all agree that reversing the affects of climate change is the ultimate goal and work together to do something about it. Sure adding people into the mix is not ideal, but without more people with the right mindset we will never achieve the change that is needed.

Let's not leave the world to the people that couldn't care less and will continue to ravage it for all they can until it is a desolate wasteland.

Snowflake's chance is a more fun analogy. Don't get offended, it's a joke.
