The number of people solving a problem scales with the number of people available to solve it.

Besides, if it's feasible to earn enough money to offset your own carbon footprint (e.g. by paying for carbon capture), it's possible to scale the solution by having more children who then offset their own carbon cost and more.

Yeah but it scales badly, especially with all the people not solving it contributing to the problem.

The climate crisis and carbon in the atmosphere scales with the number of people available to solve it, as well.
