That was probably fairly accurate at that time.
Look at the historical data here:

BTW, the large recent drop in co2 emissions, covid.
"large"... If only. Barely a drop in the bucket.
I never thought I'd say this, but looks like we need more pandemics!
This is actually a thought that some climate deniers have. "Climate change is a hoax to control you, covid was the trial run".
Unsurprisingly, the people who say that publicly tend to be funded by oil.
Why doesn’t anyone ever think COVID was sent by God to give us a reprieve and a chance to get our act together, which we’re now squandering?
Good news! We're continuing to shit on our biodiversity safety net.
Seems like legally requiring hybrid work benefits would get us significantly closer to those goals
Whenever I think about this article, I think about how they could not have possibly known how emissions would grow, and they were perfectly reasonable to frame it this way. And if things stayed at that rate, we would have been able to do something about it so easily when we started getting worried
