Hmm, these guys look at “voter concerns” and see climate change isn’t important to one particular demographic of people (who tend to skew older and less educated.) Meanwhile, a significant amount of young, educated people are choosing not to have children due to climate change (among other reasons, but it’s a big one.) News articles regularly ask why we aren’t having babies.
It’s almost like, if you put all the puzzle pieces together, it makes a “big picture” of sorts. Like, maybe “voter concerns” don’t tell the whole story. Maybe if we looked at people’s behavior, and the circumstances thereof, we’d see that actions speak louder than words.
