UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Industrialized nations played a major role in generating polluting emissions and must now take the lead in reversing the problem, a U.N. climate change official said Wednesday.
Gro Harlem Brundtland, a former prime minister of Norway, said the seriousness of global warming is no longer under debate and the moment for rapid action has arrived.
"We, the industrialized nations, must assume the largest responsibility," she said. "We are the ones who have filled up the atmosphere. We must carry the greatest responsibility for reducing emissions."
