> Research shows that an increase in quality of life is inversely proportional to a drop in birth rate. This is actually not the case. Wealthy people in the US even have more kids, on average, than the middle classes. > Whenever you take a long haul flight you directly rob a child in Africa from using fossil fuels to better his or her life. Does that mean whenever a millionaire takes his yacht out for a stroll (that gets maybe 1MPG), he's robbing me of my chance to improve my life further as well? I'm unlikely to ever afford retirement or being able to afford children of my own. Does that mean everyone who has children in developed countries are robbing people in Africa of oppurtinites? Adding a new person in a developed country consumes far more CO2 than a couple of long-haul flights.
