That period between 1990 and 1995 where there seems to be 3 consecutive years where it slowed to a relative crawl… Imagine if we did that. What if we plateaued there for a few years - decades even - and then started dropping. A wonderful thought.
On a more serious note, I don’t consider myself to be entirely out of the loop on historical events, but I had just never made the connection that the soviet union fell quite that recently. That’s only a handful of years before I came into the world.
Except dude is talking out of his ass completely, as it takes multiple DECADES for changes in emissions levels to be reflected in atmospheric concentrations… But, ya know, reality is just like a matter of opinion now, apparently, so… It’s fun to pretend tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that’s partly due to the fall of the soviet union, which caused a noticeable drop in carbon emissions.
So you’re saying… /j
