As someone from a country where people commonly lived in mud huts well into the 20th century, and which wasn't considered developed until 1975:

Yes, we sure got the raw end of that deal by having more developed countries spearhead technological development.

I'd much rather be doing sustainance farming today, rather than taking my chances with the IPCC's estimate of climate change depressing world GDP by 2-10% in 2100.

Yes, developed countries should be leading the way to becoming carbon neutral or negative, e.g. with nuclear, solar, etc.

But let's not make this into some mischaracterization of early industrialized countries taking something away from the rest of us. That's bullshit.
