Looking at that graph seems like they are still higher than ever, just not continuing to spike, and the "falling" seems very minimal. I suppose thats good its not getting worse, but its still not good.....

Plateauing with a growing population and industry is pretty good. Give it a few years to stabilize and swap more over and we should see a continual decrease to a minimum threshold (from things that produce emissions that can't be swapped like cement creation). Much better than we see in other developed countries, and in one of the largest contributors to date. Good reasons for some hope.

Yeah. It's better than the alternative, progress is progress. But this graph spells death that is absolutely certain. It needs to start sharply spiking downwards, and it needed to do it around the year 2000.

Leveling the graph isn't healing the patient. We're still beating the patient when he's in bad shape and needs time to recover. Leveling the graph means we're no longer hitting him harder and harder with every passing day, but we're still beating him, and already he is dying.
