Agree or disagree:
Wealthy nations should be more responsible than poorer nations for preventing climate change?
A growing concern nowadays is whether wealthy nations should be more responsible than poorer nations for preventing climate change or not. I agree that wealthy nations should be responsible for preventing climate change. I’d like to explain my stance with three reasons in this essay.
First of all, historically speaking, since after the latter half of 18c, current developed nations have been destroying ecosystem for their own prosperity such as deforestation. It goes without saying that this kind of facts lead to current climate change.
Secondly, as for poorer nations, they have been exploiting their resources such as humans and lands by wealthy nations for their economic growth. People have lived under the harmony with nature in poorer nations and nothing to do with global warming.
Finally, in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, although now China and India are emerging, current wealthy nations have been monopolizing primarily in history, it is not too much to say that it is the cause of this climate change.
I’d like to emphasize again, historical facts, poorer nations attitude for the nature and wealthy nations behavior until now are three reasons why I believe that wealthy nations should be responsible for preventing climate change.
