@gorgepulse I remember when this study came out - https://t.co/PMC7x2hW6N so many conservationists I know were angry about it, denied it, even those without children. That doesn't mean we shouldn't also conserve energy, reduce pollution, live lightly.

Of all the things you can do to lower your GHG emissions, do you know what the most effective is? By an order of magnitude? Have 1 less child. https://t.co/EUny44qCMR

Must read article on top personal actions to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions vs promotion of lower impact actions. Elephant in the room... population growth (24X larger impact than 2nd action, live car-free), with ZERO mentions in the literature review.
@emrobSci Because people have LITERALLY NO IDEA which actions are most effective (see the survey results above or https://t.co/Rj94Tbs6na), doing a hopelessly ineffective one stops them doing something actually useful.

This rings a bell. Wynes & Nicholas (2017) useful paper on key actions to reduce CO2 emissions. Argues 1 less child, live car-free, 1 less big flight & plant-based diet "have much greater potential" than e.g. recycling, insulation, efficient bulbs
Curious about what you can do about climate change? This article discusses the most effective individual actions & argues that we should be teaching these to kids. https://t.co/gjJuKxEzBc via @IOPscience
A recent paper highlighted the most effective personal decisions to tackle climate change: 1. Don't have a child. 2. Live carless. 3. Avoid transatlantic flights. 4. Buy green energy. 5. Switch to an electric car. 6. Eat a plant-based diet. https://t.co/
