I feel like there are enough battles on the green front.  Resources and studies could be put to better use.  Economics keep most peoples family size in check.

I'd be curious to know how closely the study documents the environmental impact of a child - do my three children leave a smaller carbon footprint than someone elses one child? I think considering the environmental implications of having children is important - very important. But the environment was one of many things I considered in deciding to have children and the impact of my children is only one of many things I consider when I consider the effect I have on the environment.
