Also another thing: most of the emissions made by third world countries are to feed the industries of first world countries. The deforestation in Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina, etc. to plant export crops that do not feed them, and just go straight to the world market… the production of oil for developed nations… the establishment of polluting industries overseas by corporations… those industries only benefit the local elites and the markets of the first world. Peasants in India don’t buy SUVs and eat in McDonalds everyday. And yet they will suffer the consequences of the people who lead that lifestyle.

Like Eduardo Galeano said:

“Our defeat was always implicit in the victory of others; our wealth has always generated our poverty to feed the prosperity of others.”
