Doesn't the plot on that page directly contradict that?
It was effectively flat from 2012-2017, then small upticks in 2018 and 2019?
The second derivative of CO2 seems to show a huge decrease in the last few years.

Year-by-year is alot of noise, but over decades we see mostly steady accelleration.
If you had a plateau with twice the number of points (years) than any previous plateau then I would buy that something was going on.
But sadly - we don't.
Seeing an apparent flattening in a period of major economic growth is really encouraging.
