From Time Apr. 23 Issue, reader’s reply to “51 things we can do with the global warming”: The biggest way to reduce carbon emission wasn’t listed: don’t have more than two children.

How much carbon can one person generate in lifetime? Quite a lot – especially if you’re American. If you don’t reduce our population now, nature will do it for us, whether we like it or not.
