Yeah, just a few things about how stupid you are:
-China, the US, India and Russia together are responsible of 56% of CO2 emissions (https://worldpopulationreview.com/countr...by-country). None of these are 'developing countries' (the World Bank and I have agreed to disagree about China and India). Can you explain how 100% - 73% = 56%?
-Developing countries tend to emit CO2 at a higher per capita rate than developed countries, but due to a lower population, they are causing less net damage to the environment.
-Developing countries are poor. They burn fossil fuels because they are poor. They are poor - in large part - due to exploitation by developed countries. How do you justify punishing exploited people?

Being poor doesn't justify destruction of the planet. They should bear responsibility for their actions despite their income level
