If we're putting the onus on individuals, then it's simply not the case that fewer humans means less emissions, because so few individuals account for so much of the pie to begin with. Sterilize the entire african continent and it might not register as a blip because it emits less than anyone else per capita and in absolute terms.
That's how it goes, though. After we're done being skeptical™ about climate change action we tie some other anchor around it's neck, some favorite bullshit of our own that all but ensures we'll never tackle the problem - which isn't how many of us there are - but how few of us behave. I know that you've been told this before, just as you've had the necessity of climate change action explained to you, OLB.
