If 3rd worlders believe that they don't have to bear responsibility for their actions neither should westerners.
If the devloped west does not bare their greater responsibility incurred while accumulating their greater share of the loot, then they can give up their greater share of the loot and go back to live a developing world’s standard of living.
If they are willing to do so, and after they have already done so, then they can demand the rest of developing world near equal share of the responsibility.
if they are not willing to give up the loot or take a greater responsibility commensurate with having accumulated more loot, then the west had better shut up about responsibility when the developing world is working to accumulate as much loot as the west had already done.
I think the global north should have only two priorities for the developing world (just two):
1) Support female education and female jobs all around the world (so they will be able to have control over their own bodies)
2) Transfer technologies to the global south (free of charge) And by this I don’t even mean nuclear. I mean clean energies.
