1850 is the year that's usually taken as a reference to explain the origins of the problem of global warming.
Together, the United States and the European Union contributed almost a third of the total accumulated emissions [of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas] from 1850 to 2021.
However, the third main player in this story is China, which has already generated another 13% of the world's carbon dioxide since 1850.
