NEW YORK — At a time when the present-day impacts of climate change are unavoidable, millions of Americans are reevaluating whether they want to have children, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.
According to the new poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel, nearly a quarter of U.S. adults ages 18 to 45 say that climate change has made them reconsider having a biological child.
The couple said they are considering how many children they want to have, whether they will adopt children and where the family will live. The latest IPCC report, published in February, found that climate change will affect nearly every aspect of life on Earth. Miley Cyrus and Prince Harry are among the celebrities who have made public statements about how the reality of climate change has impacted their family planning.
Researchers who conducted one study, published in 2017, estimated that the carbon impact of having one less child is equivalent to roughly 24 people giving up their cars. “Yes, having a child creates more emissions,” she said, but “it also can create really powerful incentives for engaging in climate action.”
