You're never, ever, ever going to persuade the majority to stop breeding.
Too many of us are convinced that offspring will somehow save our dying relationships/enrich our boring lives. People get irrationally upset when you even hint at the suggestion that having children is a terrible idea.
I sometimes think that it would be nice if one of these Covid mutations resulted in mass infertility. Although I suspect that the Children of Men/Handmaid's Tale outcome is becoming increasingly likely in that scenario. I don't particularly like us on a species level, but I don't particularly want to see Gilead become a reality, either.
It doesn't really matter now, anyway. As you quite aptly summarised, we've already fucked the dog. Unless we can shift as a global community to true net zero, we're going to continue to slowly/quickly erode the environment until we end up at the same mass extinction outcome, regardless. The only people doing that are the few genuine off-gridders (who most of us regard as weird/mentally ill) and the few remaining indigenous tribes in the Amazon/India. But I'm sure they'll either be eradicated or assimilated soon enough. We're a far fucking cry from the National Geographics from 40 years ago.
I'm not prepared to live a truly carbon neutral lifestyle. Neither is birb. And neither are these XR fuckwits. We're simply delaying the inevitable. No amount of insulation will change that.

Best to get the killing spree in now, while there's still a target-rich environment.

It'd be lovely, wouldn't it?
I've always thought that there would be something immensely satisfying about picking people off with a sniper rifle from the top of the local multistorey/shopping centre.
