Ugh. Last night (not sure the show, I had my back to it so I only heard, not saw), a man said "1 in 4 people don't believe in global warming, so in other words, 1 in 4 people are wrong about something".
So...if i was on the fence about having kids I should a) definitely not have them now or b) have one so they can protect my old ass when shit hits the fan?

Yup.
Honest curiosity, what is the benefit to that if it's another set of resources taken up? Is it because of the dwindling pop rate needed to sustain the economy?

Because we're going to revert back to the old, "Have lots of children in the hopes that some survive and ensure the survival of your family" way of sustaining our population.
The economy is going to go into the shitter. What is now the middle class is going to become the poverty line level. The people living below the poverty line are going to be wiped out. They won't be able to buy the technology/resources they need to support them. (Water, food, but also heating and cooling to be able to withstand the coming temperatures.) So there's not going to be any worry about sustaining the population for economic reasons.
