AFP Bangladesh will urge the United States to reduce carbon emissions and speed up the creation of a massive fund to help developing countries combat global warming, when U.S. climate envoy John Kerry visits Dhaka later this week, officials said Tuesday. The United States and other countries in the developed world need to take urgent action against climate change because their use of resources affects developing countries, Bangladeshi Foreign Minister A.K. Abdul Momen told BenarNews.  “We are the victims. That is why the responsible countries will have to bear the burden,” Momen said. Climate change is a critical issue for the South Asian country which loses 2.5 percent of its national income annually because of extreme weather-related phenomena, according to analysts. Experts have also warned about the effects of global warming causing erosion as sea levels rise and threaten low-lying areas along Bangladesh’s coastline, where millions of people live.
