"The United States has caused more than $ 1.9 trillion in losses to other countries"

A new study by climate scientists in Datmouth College in the United States calculated that during the period from 1990 to 2014, carbon emissions pollution in the United States caused more than 1.9 trillion US dollars in losses, but they brought themselves. Come more than $ 183 billion in income.

According to the Associated Press reported on July 13, for decades, environmentalists and some government officials and scientists have advocated that wealthy countries should take more responsibilities for climate change, and even pay compensation to poor countries because industrialized countries are in history in history The cumulative greenhouse gases are the most. A new study by climate scientists in Datmouth College in the United States calculated that during the period from 1990 to 2014, carbon emissions pollution in the United States caused more than 1.9 trillion US dollars in losses, but they brought themselves. Come more than $ 183 billion in income.

It is reported that the study was published in the "Climate Change" magazine on Tuesday, which aims to calculate how much the economic impact of large discharge countries on other countries. The study stated that the data could be used for court and international climate negotiations to support the discussion on paying compensation issues to the poor countries that are damaged by carbon emissions.

Research data shows that over time, the largest carbon emissions country in the United States caused more than 1.9 trillion US dollars of climate loss to other countries from 1990 to 2014. Among them, Brazil lost $ 310 billion and India lost 257 billion US dollars. Indonesia loses $ 124 billion, Venezuela loses $ 104 billion, and Nigeria loses $ 74 billion. But at the same time, carbon emissions in the United States bring more than $ 183 billion in income to its own economy.

One of the authors of the study, Datmouth College Climate Scientist Justin Mankin, said, "Are all countries seeking compensation from the United States? Maybe. U.S. emissions caused huge economic losses. There are things that can be proved. "

The main authors of the study, Christopher Callahan and Manjin, pointed out that although it has tracked carbon emissions at the national level for decades The first study in linked. This study also counts climate change income, which mainly falls in northern countries such as Canada and Russia, as well as wealthy countries such as the United States and Germany.

According to data reports from the Russian Satellite Satellite Satellite, the per capita carbon emissions of the United States in 2019 were about 14.7 tons, and the data in the next few years have not been updated. This ranks 11th in the world. Before the United States, it was Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia and a small number of oil -producing countries.
