The departure of the United States from the Paris agreement on climate change announced Thursday by President Donald Trump has been a blow to the global movement that seeks to reduce pollution on the planet.



And is that the American power is one of the nations that with their emissions most contribute to the effects of climate change.
Donald Trump announces that the Jav Debut United States will abandon the Paris Agreement on Climate Change
4 keys to understanding the importance of the Paris Agreement on climate change that Donald Trump has just withdrawn from the US.
What consequences will the decision of Donald Trump to remove the United States from the Paris climate agreement
Perhaps that is why Trump's decision was received as a cold water jug ​​by the international community , with most of the world leaders showing their disappointment with the president.
"It's a sad day for the global community": international leaders show their rejection of Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the US. Of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

And is that USA. It is behind China the second country in the world that produces more gases of greenhouse , which fundamentally contribute to global warming.
Here are some figures that show how much US Has responsibility for the phenomenon of climate change that scientists attribute to human activities.27% of CO2 since 1850
Although China is currently the country with the most tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere, over 160 years the United States is the largest emitter.
The burning of fossil fuels such as oil and its derivatives, dell gas and coal, are the main generators of this gas.
Considering the period 1850-2011, the Center for Analysis of Information on Carbon Dioxide determined that the United States is responsible for 27% of the world's CO2 emissions.
It is closely followed by the European Union , which includes industrialized countries like the United Kingdom, Germany and France, with 25%.
China is in third place (11%), followed by Russia (8%), Japan (4%) India (3%) and Canada (2%).
16.39 tons of CO2 per person
Currently, China is the most polluting country, with 10.64 kilotonnes of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere, followed by the United States with 5.17, according to the Global Atmospheric Research Emissions Database (EDGAR, for its acronym in English).
However, the calculation per person reflects that Americans are the ones who make the most emissions of this greenhouse gas.
Each inhabitant of that country emitted 16,39 metric tons , that surpass the 13,53 of Canada and 12,47 of Russia .
The high population of China makes its per capita contribution of 7.55 metric tons, which puts it below countries like Holland, Belgium or Japan.
500 million tons of methane
Another of the gases that contribute most to the greenhouse effect is methane.
It is mainly produced by human activities such as the extraction and processing of oil and gas, livestock breeding, food crops and the landfills.
2012 figures from the EDGAR database show that the United States was among the five nations that emitted more metric (million) of methane in the world:
China: 1,752
India: 636
Russia: 545
United States: 499
Brazil: 477
NASA detected a "hot spot" , located at an intersection of the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, which covers only about 6,500 square kilometers.
Only 59 million metric tons of methane were emitted into the atmosphere because of the "leakage in the production of natural gas".
13 kilowatt hours
In the last 50 years, Canada and the United States have led the world's electricity consumption per person.
This type of energy is generated mainly through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas , in addition to nuclear energy and renewable to a lesser extent.
According to figures from the International Energy Agency, each Canadian consumed in 2013 about 15.51 kilowatt hours of electricity. The Americans followed with 12.98.
Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Japan, France, Germany and Holland were among the other countries with high consumption per person, while the global average that year was 3.10 kilowatt hours.

global warming
One of the most important objectives of the Paris Agreement is the reduction of global warming.
Adding all the pollutant contributions to the planet, calculations from a study by the University of Berkeley (USA) indicate that the United States is the one that contributes most to the warming that has been recorded so far , with 0.151 ° C .
Four other contributing countries are:
China : 0.063 °
Russia : 0.059 °
Brazil : 0.049 °
India : 0.047 °
