"Is this true? If share is defined as "wages paid", maybe, but I have a hard time believing American workers produce 25-50% of the world's goods (that's the percentage range of resource use for various important resources and different types of pollution)."
OECD total GDP, 2000 = 25,528 billion dollars (granting that that's not the whole world)
US GDP, 2000 = 9,896 billion dollars, or 38 per cent
