US behind $10T in climate damage over 3 decades: Research
26.03.2026
Emissions from US have led to roughly $500B in economic losses in India, about $330B in Brazil.
A new study found that the US is responsible for $10 trillion in damage to the climate over the last 30 years via its global warming emissions, according to new research published in the journal Nature.
The US, which is the largest carbon emitter through the decades, caused greater harm to global economic growth than any other country before China took the mantle as the largest emitter, The Guardian reported on Wednesday, based on the research.
China has also caused $9 trillion in GDP damage since 1990, according to the research.
The US itself saw about 25% of the overall GDP loss, yet other countries also paid a heavy price; the poorest countries suffered from disproportionate economic losses.
