Now, I doubt that anyone would read "enforce poverty on those in the developed world" and see a moral imperative.
Actually, quite a few see pretty much just that. We don't see it so much as enforcing poverty as drastically decreasing consumption. But yeah, a lot of us want to take inexpensive jet travel away, and we want to take cars away, and downsize homes, and such. People think that they will be impoverished if they don't have that stuff, but they don't know what poverty is, and they don't know how to enjoy simple things- which arguably impoverishes them.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
