This is wrong on a lot of levels. Primarily:

1. Every nation with a declining birth rate is shitting their pants about it and trying to raise the birth rate. It is seen as an existential crisis to not grow in population.

2. Birth rates have already been dropping for decades and carbon emissions are continuing to climb because we keep finding new ways to spend money on creating carbon emissions.

So, 2 will get better and no country has figured out now to solve 1 yet. Not even handing out money works.

.cz seems to have figured it out. Maybe Hungary also, though I would need to look.

EPA press release said emissions were decreasing under Trump.
