Having just one child increases your climate footprint beyond your control

Unless they invent a cheap fusion reactor. People don’t just produce pollution; they produce ideas as well.

It will take at least 30 years for a child to invent a fusion reactor. It will be too late.

Says who? The need for clean and plentiful energy supplies will likely be greater in 2051 than 2021. It’s not like we’re going to turn them down because ‘it’s too late’.
