The data is detrended at 1.9% per year – the trend rate of growth for the USA in the 20th century. A rising line means growth greater than 1.9% for that year, a falling line means growth of less than 1.9% for the year. A flat line is growth of 1.9% for that year.
Britain, Sweden and Denmark all grew quickly up until the 1970s in a period known as post-war catch up.In the 1970s and early 1980s, there was the British disease. The 1970s to the early 1990s was Swedosclerosis. There was a boom in the British economy subsequent to the economics of Mrs Thatcher.

Europe’s rate of decarbonization was essentially identical before and after the ETS was introduced. If the program has effects, decarbonization has not been detectable beyond historical business-as-usual rates.
