Sure it will, there’s a lot of inertia and feedbacks in the system, some kicking in recently although there’s nothing physically special about 1.5oC. Also, as well as CO2, emissions of CH4 rise fast, while those of SOx fall. My point is rather that people (especially anglophones) tend to over-estimate the importance of USA in world affairs. What matters is that the rest of the world gets on with transitions.
