The technology currently exists (more or less) to replace the vast vast majority of emissions and it would be infinitely more palatable than trying to do population control for the populace. Population is a major factor. Per capita consumption matters but doesn't really relate to population. So population always matters. On the general topic of automation it's interesting to note that decreasing birth rates will create additional general demand as retired people spend down their savings and specifically in areas like healthcare which are harder to automate. Like some other people, I wasn't quite aware of the scale of declining birth rates. It's actually a reasonably significant factor when talking about future job demand.
