Remember how people kept saying the third world would face the most devastating effects of climate change before the first world (even tho the first world is responsible for the majority of climate change)?
Well, “Pakistan contributes less than 1 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases blamed for causing global warming, yet its 200 million people are among the world’s most vulnerable victims of the growing consequences of climate change. Pakistan is among 10 countries affected most by climate change, according to the 2018 Global Climate Risk Index released by the public policy group Germanwatch.”
These are the other countries, according to Germanwatch. Notice how they are all third world countries…hmm.
Okay, but can we refer to these nations as developing nations, not “third world,” because that is a loaded term that is incorrect and extremely outdated.
“Third World” has its critiques but “developing” is definitely worse bc it’s patronizing and also erases the impact of colonialism & imperialist exploitation on that “development.”
