Riddle me this: How do larger families accelerate global warming?
Answer:
Simply by using more resources because there are more of them: more showers to take=using more water. More kid=using more diapers, wipes, etc. More driving around to accommodate the schedules of, say, 6 kids instead of 2=more emissions. More juice boxes, bottles of water, individually wrapped slices of cheese, and other types of waste=more trash in landfills.
Um..think about that for a second..
It's not just large families, it's all related to the fact the the worlds population is increasing. More people means more resources are needed. More cars that are on the road. There are more homes to build and power.
They don't.
The impact of human activity on climate change is infinitesimal, so the impact of a large family vs. a small family on the environment would be equivalent to affecting the salinity of the Pacific ocean by adding a tablespoon of fresh water vs. adding a teaspoon of fresh water.
The planet and its climate changed before humans existed, and it will continue to change long after we are gone. In fact, there was a "Little Ice Age" in very recent human history - before human activity was producing any significant carbon emissions.
It is simply arrogance that we think we have so much impact on a system as massive as global climate. And, even if we do, we think that we can alter it by driving cars that are just a little bit more fuel efficient?
Global warming and the Green movement is simply being promoted for economic reasons, not environmental. Watch how much money gets spent and made around this issue in the next couple of decades and you will understand the real motivation for the hype.

They don't because global warming is a myth conjured by some questionable scientific principals and Al "I invented the Internet" Gore along with other libs and eco-terrorists that figure they can use the threat of global warming to control society.
Larger families = more people = more oil & gas & coal consumed = more carbon dioxide (green house gas) produced.
Burning oil & gas & coal creates a lot of carbon dioxide gas which is believed to be the primary cause of global warming.
The environmentalists have been preaching about the "dangers" of overpopulation for years. Just watch an old episode of "all in the family" from the seventies.
Resource depletion.
