That turns out not to be the case, though the news is often hidden in the way it is reported.

For example, look at this graph from https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-global-co2-emissions-set-to-rise-2-percent-in-2017-following-three-year-plateau

The total emissions are increasing, and if you don't look closely, it looks like everybody is trending up. But look more closely -- CO2 emissions in the US and EU have been declining -- but, because they stack them on top of the rapidly-increasing "rest of the world" category, it looks like the trend line is UP in both places.

So yeah, somebody is doing something to reverse their share of the trend. Any gains they are making are being drowned by worsening emissions in places that are not.
