In western countries and in China, the total fertility rate ( "TFR" ) is far below the "replacement rate" of 2.1 children per female.

Sub Saharan Africa and certain middle eastern countries are driving population growth.

They typically still have TFR as high as 6 or 7 children per female in some cases.

No.

The UN says we are facing an over-population catastrophe.

The UN says world population will keep increasing at least until 2100.

It will be a catastrophe. And our doom!

Why am I responsible for other people overpopulating the world? As long as I have 1 or 2 children, I am not contributing to the problem.

Your argument reads like - I am selfish for using a car because there are factories spewing thousands of liters of greenhouse gases into the air

This is a fallacy. By having 1 or 2 children, you contributed to the problem by one or two.

If no one had children the human race would die out.

Though, I wish you could have gone back in time to convince your parents they were being selfish

The human race isn't dying out. We just hit 8 billion. Get your facts right.

The PP said “If no one had children the human race would die out.”

Doesn’t matter if there are 8 billion people today. If none of them had children the human race would be gone in one generation.

There will always be idiots reproducing so it's not going to happen.

And what wonders it will do for the planet if only the idiots reproduce!

It is a fact that wealthier or and highly educated people are having less children already look it up. It's already real life idiocracy.

Of course. Well-known fact.

Also, explain why the human race dying out wouldn't be a bad thing.

Let's start with you

Bravo!

Wrong.

Having a child contributes to overpopulation and climate change.

Not having children contributes to extinction.

I'll take overpopulation and climate change every time.

Yes, you’re right. and why can’t people see, if there were no humans, the world would be a much healthier place to live?

Breeding like roaches is different than not breeding at all. But with your all or nothing thinking I don't think you would understand that.
