Oh, I didn't realize that fossil fuels can be eliminated that easily! Silly me.
From now on, I will spend the 2.5 seconds that it takes me to recycle on dismantling capitalism.
You cannot just put aside your personal responsibility just by pointing a finger at someone who's causing more pollution.
Yes, private jets are very bad and should be banned. Yes, corporations are major players in pollution and should be heavily regulated. Yes, there is a ton of rich people each causing more pollution than entire cities.
Meanwhile, I can still try to introduce more vegetarian meals to my diet.
Yes, my personal waste is dwarfed by waste of large organization...
Yes, the solution is in regulations and criminalization of polution by corporation.
But you should still recycle.
Of course, one should do as much as they can and mainly vote and push the government for regulation. I just don't think, that this infographic does a good job of communicating the information. You should recycle regardless of the impact size compared to not having a child.
If you look at it as something that can be used as propaganda all it seems to accomplish is shifting the blame to families with multiple kids and low-income households that cannot buy electric cars.
I find it hard to believe such graphics and because it's annual I think it's quite misleading. Replacing lightbulbs has a low impact, but they will last years. During that time it will have the same impact as if you switch to a plant-based diet for a year. Some items are one-time investments that will have a lasting effect while others are everyday struggles with comparatively low effects related to the effort required. Furthermore, this creates a feeling that some actions are nearly meaningless. Some may say I am childless so I can fly 3 times a year and have a lower impact than this family with two kids.
I think you would be surprised how much math used in physics is used in economics and then there is statistics which is heavily used in both.

I think the results are regional.
Atomic Habits is a very popular self-help book filled with similar nonsensical charts.
Here's the punchline: If you get one percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done.
1% improvement every day is ridiculous: Start bench-pressing 50kg today and in a week 70kg and in a year?
I guess saying that if you work on something you will eventually be better at it isn't sexy enough for a book.
But why put the decline into the same chart? If you would plot them separately you would see they are just inversed.
Handrawing the chart is a nice touch as well.
