Not presently. But you can't say can't when it comes to the rate of technological advancement of humans.
Think of all the can'ts that are cans since 1850, including container ships.
Carbon fuel is going to die out. It's death assured by global climate change and the fact that the production
of refined fuel from oil is itself highly consumptive of energy.

Definitely.

Too right you are.
Supposedly, there was an ice-free corridor down the spine of western Canada, which facilitated overland migration. But that is just a hypotheses.
The strange thing to me is that the majority of the oldest confirmed human remains in the Americas have been found in south and central America. Supposedly the last places migrants from Siberia would have made it to. Even in North America some of the oldest, definitive sites of human habitation are in the eastern United States.
You would hope there would be far more evidence of human remains in the western united states, which Siberian migrants presumably would have reached long before getting to central and south America.

For sure that makes sense. But those 14,000 year old rock shelters in Pennsylvania and Virgina had to be reached by traversing the western united states. It is a little disconcerting that a substantial amount of confirmed evidence of Paleolithic human remains have rarely been found outside the eastern United States.
But I agree that we just have not looked hard enough. Paleoanthropology as a scientific discipline does not exactly get a lot of funding.

Which would be easier in 16,000 BCE: Traversing the entire continent or floating/walking over from northern Europe?
I'm inclined to think there were multiple migrations of humans arriving in the Americas over times even if it was only one tribe at a time.
