Just because Americans are having fewer children does not excuse them from the fact that they consume far more than other people. Americans are told constantly that global warming is false, with even President Trump claiming it is a "Chinese hoax." Furthermore, America is relatively sparsely populated not because of a moral belief that having fewer kids is better for the environment but merely because that is the stage of demographic transition it is in due to its economic development. In addition, it was very sparsely populated before the arrival of European colonizers. In addition, even if we look at the cumulative figure, America has historically been the number 1 contributor to global warming[1].
