Well it saves the carbon print of 1 average human being of said country. So yeah, having 1 less child in Africa doesn't do much, but having 1 less child in Qatar equals 1200 children from Greenland.

What's left out of the picture is how much a spoilt brat from the global north emits vs. how much a kid without childhood from the global south emits. With that in mind the gun policies of republicans start to make more sense.

The idea behind having one fewer child reducing carbon emissions is not their immediate impact, but their future impact due to increasing population.
Only issue is it also depletes the human race since we require 2.3 children per household to maintain the existing population.

Her statement is right at one condition :
It's that the fate of the poorest places on the planet is to remain poor forever, and that their overage of population is not used to compensate european low birthrate with immigration.

another leftist trick to control people. Earlier they were saying we would run out of fossi fuels. Now it is this Climate change bullshit. We will solve our problems like we always have, by improving our technology. World population would top out at 11 billion anyway.
