    Depends when you're measuring from and to and compared to what. The emissions in many advanced countries peaked just before the 2008 financial crisis, then dropped due to the economic downturn of that crisis. They tend to be now plateauing at those post-2008 levels due to decreases caused by climate-change related political policies (e.g. changing the power grid to run more off renewables) offsetting the increases due to the economic recovery (e.g. more farm and industrial emissions).

    e.g. Here's Canada's emissions, which are reasonably typical of most developed countries (US is very similar, I just can't find as clear a graph for the US):

    "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
    "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
    "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein
