I don't think it is. For exemple, Brazil and China are both terrible from a climate perspective. Africa is also not reducing their numbers of births. The USA may be behind Europe, but the rest of the world still exists.

African birth rates have declined steadily since the 1950's: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AFR/africa/birth-rate https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/AFR/africa/birth-rate There have also been lots of state/local-level initiatives in the US. USA is still an innovative driving-force of the world even though some leaders have tried to sabotage it.
