Of the possible solutions to the climate crisis, I think that intentionally dying young would be called the "nuclear option" of last resort (and there have been a number of movies about this concept - e.g. Logan's Run). The goal we should all have is instead to allow everyone to live long, happy and healthy lives while reducing our impact on the ecosphere in order to stave off a global disaster for our progeny.
