I'm case you missed it...
An article appeared in The Guardian on Thursday, December 11th, entitled “Economic growth no longer linked to carbon emissions in most of the world, study finds”

But that headline is misleading and the study overclaims too.
We take it apart (need to fix formatting for mobile view).
