Birth rates have dropped 20% since 2007. I don't think we ever came back from the '08 crash. It's just been smoke and mirrors.

You caused me to look up per capita emissions and... well, the scale alone is rather horrifying.
It looks like North Americans emit almost 10x as much per capita as their neighbors in South America. And this is territorial emissions, meaning it doesn't count emissions involved in the manufacturing of imported goods. (I'm sure if you shifted the emissions accounting to the point of consumption then China would look waaay better.)
