The United States, with its love of big cars, big houses and blasting air-conditioners, has

contributed more than any other country to the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is

scorching the planet.

“In cumulative terms, we certainly own this problem more than anybody else does,” said

David G. Victor, a longtime scholar of climate politics at the University of California,

San Diego. Many argue that this obligates the United States to take ambitious action to

slow global warming.

But on Thursday, President Trump announced the United States would withdraw from a

195-nation agreement on climate change reached in Paris in 2015.

The decision to walk away from the accord is a momentous setback, in practical and

political terms, for the effort to address climate change.
