In an era in which the planet is getting hotter by the day, is it morally, ethically or practically sound to bring children into the world?

And do such factors as climate anxiety, race and socio-economic status shape who decides to have kids and who doesn’t?

Those are the questions Jade S. Sasser, an environmental scientist who teaches at the University of California, Riverside, started asking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sasser, who's been studying reproductive choices in the context of climate change for a quarter century, recently sat down with @insideclimatenews to talk about her new book, “Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question.”

You can read more on how she uses her research to show how climate emotions land hardest on marginalized groups, people of color and low-income groups at the link in our bio.
