You don't think that that something that happened may have been the start of population control measures in China and the promotion of birth control in the third world by the US? Would we be OK if those were removed? (The latter already has been, after that chart was made).

That's like Bush saying that the air is much cleaner now than it was in the '70s, so we can ease up on the regulations. The pollution issue hasn't gotten less important - we were doing something about it. If we stop doing it, things will get worse again.
