US greenhouse emissions from 1990 to 2014 caused the rest of the world $2 trillion in damage.

This is a global income lost due to heatwaves, crop failures and other effects of pollution. Developing countries were mostly affected. In terms of damage caused, the United States has overtaken China, Russia, India and Brazil. Together, the top five polluting countries caused $6 trillion in harm - 11% of world GDP in a year. The developed countries in the northern latitudes have made the greatest contribution to the development of the climate crisis. At the same time, their economies have suffered less from global warming than in the poor countries of the south.
