Population is largely irrelevant actually.
49% of the global co2 emissions are produced to support the lifestyles of the richest 10%, while the poorest 50% (which includes most growing populations) only cause 10% of the emissions, and that disparity is only growing.
And now you also know why effectively absolutely nothing has really happened to curb the emissions. It's convenient to blame the Chinese farmer who has more meat in their diet, but the real culprits are probably a lot closer to you.
