IPCC AR6 Global GHG emissions (2019)
Global greenhouse gas emissions are all record high, increasing as fast as ever
CO2 lasts long in the atmosphere - 100s of years.
So CO2 emissions are highy persistent and cumulative in the atmosphere.
In like manner so is nitrous oxide

Emissions are still being increased
