....after all, perhaps you just overlooked the fact that CO2 is rising specifically because we are not building clean energy sources fast enough to keep up with the extreme increase of energy usage.

But anyway, yes, CO2 is still rising due to increased energy usage so we'd better start building non-CO2 energy sources faster!
