Have the Warmists already succeeded in their Quixotic quest? Has the rise in CO2 stopped already?

The rather startling paper from last December below does not seem to have got much press. I wonder why? It implies that the job of limiting CO2 in the atmosphere has already succeeded. CO2 levels have already peaked. So can all the Warmists go into retirement now -- and congratulate themselves on a job well done?

Robert B. Jackson et al.

Rapid growth in global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and industry ceased in the past two years, despite continued economic growth. Decreased coal use in China was largely responsible, coupled with slower global growth in petroleum and faster growth in renewables.

China and India have to clean up.

Their life expectancy much worse than the west, especially in their cities.
