A Black baby a "carbon-emitter"

 I must say this is a bit disheartening. A child being born really should be a cause for celebration. Check out this op-ed by Jeremy Hunt:

An hour after my daughter was born, I found myself racing back and forth between my wife’s hospital room and my newborn’s crib in a neonatal intensive care unit. Both faced dire health challenges. It was the worst experience of my life, but in the end, mother and baby recovered.

The ordeal taught me something: Nothing on this Earth is more fulfilling than being a husband and father.

Driving home from the hospital, I received a call: I’d been ­accepted to Yale Law School. After overcoming one obstacle, I would soon face another as a young dad and a law student.

A year later, I’ve had the privilege of telling my classmates about the joys of marriage and parenthood — but not everyone has been receptive. One student told me it might be “unethical” to have children in today’s America.

That view is distressingly common among our elites. Many ­climate activists, including AOC, fret that children increase our carbon emissions over their lifetime, hastening an ecological crisis. Apparently, human life loses intrinsic value in a ­crisis.

Also:

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to raise children in today’s America. It boils down to two things: cost and culture.

Day care is astronomically ­expensive for young parents like me. Many working-age men are unable to find employment. Housing costs continue to skyrocket. Student debt cripples nearly my entire generation — delaying family formation for some and leaving others with little impetus to marry and start a family at all.

Then there’s the growing anti-family sentiment, especially among elites. Babies are seen as obstacles in the fight against climate change and the quest for personal “fulfillment.” Life in the womb is no longer considered a gift but an inconvenience to be discarded at will.

I don't have kids but it's jarring to see having children as part of the issue of "climate change". It seems a lot of the things we take for granted is being upended and treated as a bad thing.
