Just out of curiosity, would you still be taking this particular stance if they were 70% as opposed to a meager 30%? What if the U.S. was 50% instead of 15%? The general consensus in regards to all these numbers is that the countries that contribute the most to the problem should be taking the initiative in some way to solve the problem moreso than the countries that contribute least. That was the sentiment of the BBC anyway. Other organizations and media outlets have some variation of the same opinion.
And just FYI - regardless of my particular opinion on these subjects, it's pretty much a given that countries like the U.K. are going to try to do what they can to combat this problem. The purpose of that data is to give the international community some idea of priority in regards to who should be doing what. Hence my comment on China's coal use.
