Contributions to Global Warming

The document provides a map where land areas are proportional to historic carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion from 1900 to 1999. It identifies the United States as the largest contributor at 30.3%, followed by a group comprising China, India, and developing Asia, the Middle East, and other developing Asian nations at 27.7%. Africa's contribution is listed at 2.5%.
