These two views are not necessarily in conflict: atmospheric CO2 concentration is (vagely/roughly) the integral of emissions. So if emissions are basically flat (-0.4%) you'd still see atmospheric levels rise.

Because flat is still very much an issue, we need a big reduction in output before we start to see the absolute value level off :/
