The first mayor religion already shrinks because of low birth rates.

The important Pronatal influencer Simone Collins announced in the YouTube video "Did Woke 2.0 Already Fail? An Evolutionary Anthropology of Woke" (round minute 55) that she is pregnant with her sixth child. Let's pray for a healthy pregnancy for her and all pregnant women around the world.

Climate change is probably one of the most discussed topics of our time. A global study shows that 60% of young people (16 to 25 years old) are very concerned about climate change. More than 45% of respondents said that feelings about the climate influence their everyday lives. Three-quarters of them said they thought the future was scary. More than half (56%) think that humanity is doomed. Among these people with these existential fears for the future, there are certainly many believing Christians. There are some aspects that suggest that climate change should promote a positive view of reproduction rather than a negative one. Experts such as Paul Morland even take the view that fewer births could lead to a less successful fight against climate change in the long term.

A young, dynamic society is more innovative than a society that is ageing. Japan is a very good example of this. It is precisely these innovations that can make the decisive difference in the fight against climate change. In addition, aging societies exacerbate problems such as rising costs in the health care system, high burden on the pension fund with fewer and fewer contributors, etc. Such a society is much more susceptible to the above-mentioned problems pushing the problem of climate change out of consciousness. In the long term, the world will also face threats, such as the threat of asteroid impacts, which require a dynamic and innovative society to defend against them. When it comes to resource consumption, as with climate change, it is probably more important that society is young, dynamic and innovative than that it is smaller than it is today. The Middle East shows what a gamechanger innovation can be. A region of the world that has always suffered from water shortages can produce drinking water in unprecedented quantities through desalination plants that convert seawater. In countries such as Kuwait and Qatar, over 90% of the water supply comes from desalination plants.

Young Christians concerned about climate change should not let this stop them from starting a family. On the contrary, a large young and innovative Christian generation can make an important and decisive contribution to climate protection.
