the first world countries should responsible to global warming effects

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. According to the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 20th century.[2][A] Most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which result from human activity such as the burning of fossil fuel and deforestation.[3] Global dimming, a result of increasing concentrations of atmospheric aerosols that block sunlight from reaching the surface, has partially countered the effects of warming induced by greenhouse gases.

"First world" countries should absolutely be held responsible for global warming because they have caused a disproportionate share of the damage.

So far, President Obama has proven almost as much of a failure on the issue of climate change as his predecessor.

I think the First World Countries should band together to stop Global Warming.

No, absolutely not, Global Warming is false propaganda disseminated by government and government sponsored scientists.

Those are mighty heavy accusations to be making. Please provide evidence that global warming is "false propaganda." Your post is a simple accusation without support, and is thus not really an argument. An argument requires evidence.
