There's a bevy of reasons why young people might be choosing not to have children. Climate change and overpopulation might be one of them, but I would hazard to guess the middle class dream of house ownership and no debt is floating away, unreachable to many millennials and Gen Z who are realizing its just not realistic in the same way it was for their parents. Lots of reasons to not have children and that's perfectly acceptable. Free society, right?
Much like any odd behavior in life, those getting "sterilized based on climate" is a very, very small percentage of the general population and it's really not the concern Peterson is making it out to be.
People do a lot of stupid things, including eating tide pods and tattoo their #######s. Doesn't mean it's some sort of "mass movement" conspiracy.
