In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere…
As I understand it the article says the portion of what is emitted that stays in the atmosphere is not increasing, the total amount is still increasing as we pump it out faster than it breaks down (or is taken up by the sinks mentioned).
What the GW camp find difficult to explain at the moment is that, despite the continued increase ppm of CO2 staying in the atmosphere, temperatures have not risen for a decade or more. One scientist (as you know) described it as a travesty that they can’t explain it.
