160x the CO2 output of a child in Ethiopia?

Well, why don't they try living with the CO2 output of a child in Ethiopia?

Also does this include the longer lifetime of a child over here?

And comparing it to a patio heater or gas-guzzler is just plain retarded. A gas guzzler won't be able to offset its emmissions wheereas a human could. Not only that, but cars are useful- kids aren't until you're old and need looking after or need help setting the VCR.
