As of 2015, the USA was responsible for 40% of excess global CO_2
emissions. The European Union (EU-28) was responsible for 29%. The G8
nations (the USA, EU-28, Russia, Japan, and Canada) were together
responsible for 85%. Countries classified by the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change as Annex I nations (ie, most industrialised countries)
were responsible for 90% of excess emissions. The Global North was
responsible for 92%. By contrast, most countries in the Global South
were within their boundary fair shares, including India and China
(although China will overshoot soon).
