Secondhand smoke: Nations producing less greenhouse gas most vulnerable to climate change

Those countries emitting the least amount of greenhouse gases are most vulnerable. The majority of the most vulnerable countries are African and Small Island States. These countries are exposed to serious environmental change such as oceanic inundation or desertification....
