Travis Reeder, a philosopher at Johns Hopkins, proposes that having fewer children is a moral imperative to combat climate change. He argues that children in rich countries like the U.S. have a disproportionately large carbon footprint, which unfairly harms people in poorer nations. Reeder cites studies suggesting that reducing global fertility by "half a child per woman" could prevent a catastrophic environmental tipping point.
