The general public and politicians weren't really worried.

Total collapse of vital Atlantic currents unlikely this century, study finds
(www.theguardian.com)
My guesses are that there ate multiple factors at play:
- less educated people make more kids
- "nice guys finish last" - assertive and more socially active people are more likely to find a partner and make children
- forcing others to follow perceived social dynamics means internal pressure to follow them oneself; having children is a social norm and expectation that is expected to be followed
I'd try and look for papers to see if my guesses hold any water, but time eludes me.
Yeah, that's why I want to get my hands on the study. Maybe the authors did consider that but the article is misrepresenting the study.
