Americans are one of the heaviest polluters per capita; so that could be why. Also, they often blame countries with highest emissions (in total) (China), as if climate change cares about borders.


Not to mention that the US has been (albeit largely in ignorance) one of the heaviest emitters of GHGs for something like 150 years. China? A couple of decades?...

Time matters...



I guarantee you developing countries will not find that a convincing answer to their objections about bearing the brunt of attempts to curb emissions.
