"The rate of increase is lower" is not the same as decreasing.

You should bother reading what you're replying to, because emissions are in fact decreasing... It's not simply the rate of increase
Will that be sustained? We'll soon see, but let's not be ignorant of the progress being made
It's hard to put a precise date on it but some think it happened in 2023, some 2024, the official goal is peaking by 2030 (note they've hit other renewables goals by about 7 years) but generally it's agreed that it's flattened and about to decline, if it hasn't already, due to rapid renewable rollout.
