Sorry I left the window open and 1.5C escaped. My cat came back though.
In all seriousness we are not going to be a peak emissions this year with two major wars, the growth of AI driving data center development. We are not moving fast enough for green energy to offset that growth so you are seeing more fossil fuel as well. Like Musk and his natural gas generators to power X.ai.

We’ve definitely passed emissions for a 1.5 C rise. The battle now is to not go over 2 C.

We have been at 1.6c over a year now. So yes. 1.5 is out and I seriously doubt the planet is going to cool in any meaningful way.

1.5C has been long out the window

The two are totally unrelated.
Peak emissions has zero to do with whether 400 btns of carbon emissions are in the pipeline. 400 more Guarantees 2plus
