I think the author is attempting to say "your kid, yes you, is going to have to deal with this shit early on in their adult life." If you say "by 2050" or "thirty years," that's easier to read as pretty far off.
It's meant to call attention to the future of today's children. "In 30 years" is factual but sterile, while the child introduces a human element that's hard to brush off.
30 years? What do you need 15 years for? 7 years should be more than enough for a fulfilling life. Now stop whining about the climate, you're wasting your 3 years.
Weird way to say "in 30 years"

All my comrades post little a cringe, as a treat
If you're not posting at least 20-30% cringe, you need to tweak that posting dial. Vanilla posting is the worst.

if they say 30 years now, it actually means 15
