Disturbing stuff. We are at the point where we need to actually need to reclaim atmospheric carbon (but in a less moronic way that iron fertilisation).
US emissions are at a low, and dropping, it's the developing nations that are reaching record highs.
A broad trend, but not always true - they went up 2.9% last year as the article states.
Even if developing countries are producing more fossil fuels, that still shouldn't be used as an excuse for not doing anything about the problem (which a
disturbing amount of people I speak to seem to believe).
