这儿的确有省略，起源如下：

Although accounting for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume...

Although~population为省略型副词子句﹙大陆的说法是省略型状语从句﹚

其省略法为

连接词保留，主词相同取消，主动改现在分词-->省略型副词子句

﹙连接词保留，主词相同取消，主动改现在分词-->省略型状语从句﹚

所以原句应为

Although United States citizens account for only 5 percent of the world's population, United States citizens consume

欢迎讨论
