You're not wrong about how to reduce population growth, possibly even reverse it a little over a long enough time period.
However, the current load is straining ecosystem. There's too many of us as-is.
The question I ponder is, would we be where we are today (science, understanding, etc) if it not for the fact there's so many of us.
What's the magic number of sustainable people on the planet and does that mean a collapse in the levels of trade that support the advancement of science?
Fwiw, I think we're doomed. We're about to find out what the 'great filter' looks like. Somewhere down the road, whatever comes after us, and something will, something will get another stab at it. Hopefully they learn from us.
