Well, yes, they both show almost no impact from our green initiatives on the actual data. Emissions graph is increasing, and very slightly slowing rate of increase in the past few years. But the CO2 graph is a direct measurement of total CO2, so it is effectively a cumulative graph. And it is lowly curving up, accelerating, over past decades including last few years. Even if we magically flat line emissions graph, meaning no more increases of emissions, we will still see CO2 graph increasing and likely accelerating due to compounding of factors and existing CO2 levels already in the atmosphere.
