From 1890 to 2007, rich countries contributed nearly 60 percent of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. India has contributed merely 3 percent of these emissions. The United States with just 5 percent of world’s population alone is responsible for nearly 30 percent of the carbon dioxide in the global atmosphere. India’s share in the world’s population is about 17 percent. By 2020 too India shall be responsible for about 4 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. According to the Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Programme, the average energy consumed by an American is equal to the average energy consumed by two Germans or 27 Chinese or 33 Indians or 300 Nepalis. As the United States account for the problem of carbon dioxide emissions and thereby global warming, historically, it is therefore the responsibility of the US to bear the burden of cleaning up the Earth’s atmosphere.

well i dont agree with your last statement ” it is therefore the responsibility of the US to bear the burden of cleaning up the Earth’s atmosphere” because (1)we all are a part of this world we all have to live in this world and share our responsibilities towards are nature .(2) try to be a better example in front of whole world by trying to reduce from 3% to 0.000000001% by developing technologies which is efficient and nature friendly and making strict protocols and following them .
look at this usa boast to be very powerful and incapable to reudce co2 emissions… the fact is very clear that usa is largest contribtour of co2 and even then they do not think that they should reduce that.
