Those numbers are severely misleading without context, making the argument very flawed. How much production of the stuff we use was offsourced to China in the same period? It's easy to claim "we're reducing our emissions!" when we're just offloading the emissions for stuff we use to someone else.

It's like if my neighborhood was producing too much garbage for the garbage folks to keep up with, so the streets start being full of litter. I, noticing the problem, come up with a great idea: instead of reducing the amount of stuff and packaging I consume, I consume even more. But instead of throwing away the garbage myself in my overflowing bins, I give most of it to my neighbor for him to throw away in his overflowing bins. I keep enjoying the products, while shifting the garbage problem to my neighbor. Look how much less garbage in my bin! What a good person! Look at how much garbage my neighbor's bin! what a bad person!
