Global Emissions Peak is a bit like the Year of the Linux Desktop. (We should also keep in mind that mismeasuring of emissions is rampant, as is outright cheating. So whatever year it is determined to be, in actuality it’s probably going to be later.)

Do you think the USA is incapable of a meaningful increase in global emissions? My original comment is implying the opposite

Maybe if you start heating your homes by burning car tires in your gardens. But otherwise, no. You are already so far behind the curve that economics really don’t allow CO2 emission increases on a global significant level.
