And how long since we consider that an ever growing population is not a good thing for the environment?

When I read medias like Bloomberg, they seem legitime in their climate change coverage, but they always lament the slow growth of US's population.

That's likely coming from different reporters talking about things from different angles. A shrinking population is a potentially big economic issue it puts stress on all sorts of things chiefly the Social Security system in the US (and those like it in other countries).

Ultimately I don't think we'll be able to population shrink our way out of climate change, at least not on timescales and in ways that people are willing to accept. It's just coming too fast and the population changes so slight that it's not going to come in as a last minute solution.
