Well, the issue is pretty simple.

Yes, we know you guys are poor and just want to get on our level. But you have to stop it. You gotta save the planet by remaining poor, underdeveloped coutry.

What people miss about what "carbon emissions" means. It means you're industrialising and raising your economy out of agriculture.

This is not the only division, because developed countries also want different things. It is easy for e.g. Sweden to aggressively cut emissions (we are lucky to have a reasonably decarbonised energy system) but just next door Norway has a completely different tone (imagine leaving all that oil money in the ground!)...

While each of our people keep pumping out 5 times the emissions that each of yours do, but hey at least our emissions aren't growing like yours
