I never said that it would continue to decline indefinitely. I said it was exponential before, and it's still exponential, even though the rate has changed. In spite of the massive negative response here, that statement is perfectly true.

It's been continuously declining for half a century after peaking, the assumption that it's suddenly reached a bottom at the most recent measurement and returned to an exponential steady state is unwarranted.
