They may be “more likely” to say that than they were 30 years ago, but I’d suggest there would be very few who would say that (and actually mean it).
 
I’d be more worried about children growing up in a world of unhappy, unstable, indecisive, violent and irresponsible people before worrying about climate change.
 
I sure hope they don’t forgo having children due to all the Doomsday rhetoric. Humans are good at coming up with technology to solve problems. I’ve heard there’s technology being researched that can suck Carbon dioxide out of the air, and 3rd and 4th generation nuclear reactors are being used and developed that are as clean, safe and efficient as any energy technology. And who knows what else we will come up in the next several decades.
 
Sure but that’s the same as every couple in history. Those things are hardly new.
 
It is not only young people.

By experience, even some old people claimed unashamingly that coercitive means should be in place everywhere in world to forbid people to have more than 1 or 2 children.

My own country that is known to had natalist politic now do all he can do to discourage people from having large families.
