There is no way to sugar coat that fact and to continue behaving like that will mean their children and their children in turn will have a worse standard of living. It will also lead to more and more problems in Europe and likely see a massive shift to the right. I don't particularly want to see that happen. If one really loves the planet and wants to make a difference all they need to do is stop having so many children. It is that simple. 4 children is still completely unsustainable. Mathematically 1 is decent, 2 pushing it and 3 and beyond a bit selfish. We have all the knowledge and information we need. We know that to keep pushing it like this the consequences will be dire.
