That's not what your source says though.

It says "having one fewer child" is the recommendation that should be given, and logically so

How do I choose which one to put down? It doesn't mention that.

Well they did say children, a child is ok.

Having a child adds approximately 58.6 tonnes CO2e per year.

The maximum average CO2e per person per year to reach the Paris climate agreement goal of a 1.5 °C, is about 3-10 tonnes. We could do this with a 0.01 fertility rate for a few decades, until we're not catastrophically overpopulated anymore.
