OSLO (Reuters) - The shift in manufacturing to emerging nations is doing more to curb rich countries' greenhouse gas emissions than measures they are taking to meet the U.N. pact to fight climate change, a study showed.
Rich nations benefit from U.N. rules which record greenhouse gases -- mainly from burning fossil fuels -- as those coming from each country's territory. Emissions to make a car in South Korea, for instance, remain South Korean even if the car is exported to the United States.
