Let's say we'd compare the carbon foot print of an average 10-kids Yemenite family with an average single guy with no kids living in Los Angeles. I'm not sure if the single guy would have a lower foot print. Put it another way, if the poorest half of world population suddenly disappeared, would it solve the problem? I could be wrong but I doubt it. My understanding is that what matters is not so much how many we are, but what the richest do.

I'm not sure if the single guy would have a lower foot print. If you assume those 10 children are also going to have 10 children each, and those children are also going to have 10 children, etc. You're talking 1000 people in 3 generations. Every birth is a tragedy.
