It sorta looks to me like if you stacked those graphs they’d still be going down.
The total is going down, but it’s doing so because electric generation emissions went down a lot while other sources didn’t change much. We need to actually address emissions from transport, industry, and buildings in a meaningful way, not just electric generation.
The total CO2 emissions of the US, even adjusted for trade, are going down since 2007-2008.
Also the only other period when the CO2 emissions of the US went down was after 1929 and 1975.
