ome people think that developed countries have a higher responsibility to combat climate change than developing countries. Others believe that all countries should have the same responsibilities towards protecting the environment.

During the

last

decade, climate change has become a great problem in our society influencing people with a lot of preoccupations. Many believe that the resolution of

this

phenomenon has to be attributed to developed

countries

.

Instead

, others are firmly convinced that the entire world population has the same responsibility to find a solution to

this

setback. In the following essay, I will delve into these two viewpoints and illustrate my personal opinion about

this

issue. On the one hand, developed

countries

were the first who have married the movement of capitalism. As a matter of fact,

this

current leads to consumerism with the result of an increase in pollution.

For instance

,

according to

a recent article in the Economist, since the beginning of the era of ,capitalism the production of CO2 has increased as steeply as never before. It is

thus

clearly shown that a huge responsibility for climate change derives from

this

movement.

On the other hand

, developing

countries

are acting in the same way, making the same mistakes. Since they started to have better economic conditions, they pushed their production strongly.

For example

,

countries

like China and Thailand have become the biggest producers of plastic around the world.

For

this

reason, they have to be involved in the resolution of these issues. In conclusion, climate change started a long time ago with the advent of consumerism in developed

countries

.

Nevertheless

, nowadays developing

countries

seem to follow the same way. In my opinion, the only way to stop

this

problem is to adopt another philosophy that respects the environment and to do it all together as a modern united society.
