    except that not all “capita” have same emissions. someone in Eritrea has a much smaller “carbon footprint” (a term invented by BP to distract from their own wanton disregard for the environment) than a billionaire in the western world

      Yes that means it’s less important to reduce birth rate in Eritrea than in the US or Australia or whatever. As long as you’re either not concerned about raising their HDI rapidly or you think it can raise without per capita emissions rising with it and good luck with that.
