I wouldn't be surprised at all if most of the scientists signing this have brats.
As long as it is socially acceptable to sluice and then claim to be an environmentalist because (insert 3-4 lame reasons) the problem isn't going much of anywhere.
It doesn't help that there are people out there who now see having more than 2 kids as being a status symbol. Or people who see having kids in general as a status symbol.
There are way too many adults who see themselves as the exception of the rule, they can sluice because they are special!

I think it'd be best to give people big tax incentives to not breed rather than doing it for people who do. There is no bigger motivator than money, and if you can pay people to get sterilized and not have kids, they'll probably think a lot harder about breeding. But then I'm sure we'd see a surge of mommy blogs from women who choose to breed anyway who think they're such edgy rebels because they're the only ones keeping the species alive.
Unfortunately, I think any laws that could possibly be put into effect to limit people's reproductive habits would come pretty goddamn close to violating bodily autonomy, like a one-child policy, forced sterilization, or being required to abort sick fetuses. As much as that would help the planet, I don't know if I can justify it when I'm so against such things in the opposite direction (anti-abortion laws, etc.).
I stand by the concept of paying people not to breed, and also making it so it's not as easy to reproduce, like not giving more welfare benefits to someone who breeds while on the dole and no more fertility treatments. This way, they still have a choice.

The only problem is the USA's going in the other direction encouraging and in some cases forcing women to breed loaves they don't want.
