CO2 Emissions are nothing but a measure of carbon based fuel and etc emissions. Since the amount of the economy of any nation is directly proportional to its energy use at that moment this simply means that the world economy grew 4%. Since there have been down years and human population is up 2% each year, that is really nothing but the required survival growth.
As far as Global Warming... Grand Solar Minimum is going to not only take the pause things are about to get really cold. Have fun everyone the Sun calls the shots here. Man doesn't affect the score at all.
