  Perhaps so, but your link is to the USA, not for the entire world.

  They are not. Each year, more CO2 is emitted than the previous year, and the increase over the previous year is larger than last time. So, the total CO2 in the atmosphere is larger each year: positive first derivative, slope is up. The total added to the atmosphere per unit time is also larger than last year: positive second derivative. It is possible that the amount by which it is larger than last year's is itself decreasing: negative third derivative. But that is hard to perceive.

  This chart shows the sharp increase for the entire world. https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions Moveover, the problem is both the developing nations don't want to postpone development to prevent climate change and that the CO2 production in China often involves good consumed in more developed nations - so the US is exporting a significant part of it's CO2 production rather than ending it.
