Unfortunately, convincing people to have fewer children is likely to be significantly more challenging than convincing them to eat less beef.

Unfortunately you're very right. Alternatively nature is very potent at equalizing. Let's watch how that unfolds

It's a shame, because it would do wonders for the environment if people just cut down on both: beef once a week instead of several times a day, and 1-2 kids instead of 3 or more. Both would be more special for being enjoyed in smaller quantities, too.
