Well, triplets probably mean she used IVF or fertility drugs. It is unethical to purposefully create children, and it does have a huge carbon footprint and also costs billions of dollars.
IVF and all methods of creating humans besides sexual intercourse should be prohibited. There is no excuse given the doubled risk of birth defects, the cost, the energy use, the insult to human dignity.
But I agree that it is wrong to put pressure on people to not have children naturally, especially to prohibit people from having children, which is what it seems the Dilbert cartoon is leaning to. The line between approving and disapproving of children should be at intentionally spending money and energy on it. There is no right to IVF or fertility drugs.

I’m a mom of 5, including a set of twins, and I know a few people who had triplets naturally. It’s funny and saddening, running into enviro-nut people like that for real. THe saddest part is that large families learn how to use resources frugally, if they want to survive. I have seen much more waste per person in families of only one or two, especially in places wealthy enough to assume that “waste is ok because there will always be more.”
