I (in fact not me, the sources I linked to) said the
rate of growth will slow and decline to nothing and then population sizes will either decline overall or stabilise for different reasons. In the article one source is the UN which has the
rate of growth declining and the other is a professor who has another calculation which shows
rate of growth declining faster. When the
rate of growth has declined to zero that means
no increase, and if it is negative there is a decline in the total.
If you have an issue with it go take it up with the professor and Speigel and explain to them why they are
bonkers, I look forward to the exchange being posted here and you being proved right. It is
possible you might be, as the Australians say "go yer hardest mate".
but it isn't me you need to be attacking.
But also read the other links.

I was hoping you would say who would (bad grammar, I am so naughty)
cheer for population growth and who you thought would possibly have the strange collection of motives you outlined :

There must be others too...

But hey, this is the internet and I'm open to other interpretations if people have them or you would care to make it more explicit ? Optonal of course.

What is wrong with the title ?
It matches the chart quite well as far as I can see.

Me too.
I'm also wondering what a
fettered reproduction system would look like- would you have been able to have your child* in that system, would I have ? Would it look like the China system which is being revised because it just doesn't work ?
*(I'm not having a go at your kid, I wish him/her nothing but good health, happiness and success in whatever they want to do.)
Please note lack of ad-homs, but I reserve the right to use the phrase bollocks maybe later.
