To be fair it says "one fewer child", not no children at all ๐ But yeah, person has 0 climate change impact when there is no person ๐
In a little bit more serious note, we should put more pressure on corporations and regulators regarding climate change, not on individuals.
I did the math a few years ago.
That one child is equivalent to burning two 55-gallon drums of oil... per week. Not for heat or transport, but to have a mini-me.
