Does climate change make it immoral to have kids?

Guardian: The decision whether or not to have a child is one of the bigger ones a person will make in life often the biggest. I needed some strong convincing from my wife when it came time for us to make it. Most of my reluctance was self-interested: I liked my life well enough, and I didnt want to change it. My wife talked about feeling a biological imperative, which I had no answer for. Who was I to stand in the way of something like that? I signed on. But there is a whole other potential person...

ClimateCentral: Even as the number of Americans relying on the Colorado River for household water swells to about 40 million, global warming appears to be taking a chunk out of the flows that feed their reservoirs. Winter storms over the Rocky Mountains provide much of the water that courses down the heavily tapped waterway, which spills through deep gorges of the Southwest and into Mexico. But flows in recent decades have been lighter than would have been expected given annual rain and snowfall rates - and...

PhysOrg: As UK wine producers prepare for what they hope will be a bumper 2016 season a study published today reveals that year-to-year climate variability and hazardous weather at key points in the growing season leave the industry highly sensitive to the elements. It also suggests that in vogue varieties such as Chardonnay and Pinot noir are more susceptible to UK climate variability than traditional varieties. Over the last decade there has been a boom in English wine production. The amount of land...

Quartz: When Thomas Heinser showed his pictures of California's parched landscape in a gallery last month, people couldn't tell what they were looking at. Last year marked the driest summer California has seen in at last 500 years, causing water shortages and resulting in forest fires throughout the state. Shot from the side of a doorless helicopter, Heinser's aerial photographs look more like abstract art than fields and valleys--driving home the transformative effects of climate change in California....
