Overpopulation is not helping either. Would it be this bad if there were only 500million people?

Depends on which 500 million... Wealthy people in industrialised countries tend to produce much more CO2. Compare e.g the us versus India at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_... . With China, I guess a lot of the CO2 comes from making stuff for everyone else.

If think there was a calculation that one 300g steak produces as much CO2 as somebody living in kenya.

It's not really about the population it's about usage and greed.

edit: sorry, wrong calculation:

2 Steaks a week produce about 300Kg Co2 per year, which is the same as 7 People living DR Kongo produce
