It will. Start listening to the scientists and quit pretending that you know better than them.

What if issues like food security, disease, life expectancy, only continue to improve. Even the most alarmist credible views on climate change don't have the standard of living in places like Canada plunging dramatically.

IMO the decision not to have children is a very drastic one people are making in the face of a relatively remote possibility. In 80 years Canada will be an inhospitable wasteland? I'm curious as to what the specific events people think will occur in 80 years that will make life so unbearable for their potential children is. Even 50 years ago there was a significant chance of a nuclear war.
Consequences of climate change to happen this century (already happening to some extent):



I also don't think you're taking into account the size & scale of the political upheaval that will be caused by hundreds of millions (possibly billions) of climate refugees moving from flood, drought, or heat ravaged parts of the world to more habitable countries.
