This strikes me as both extremely cynical and missing the point
Even if you celebrate the rising quality of life across the world, you have to acknowledge that a knock-on effect of rising quality of life is going to be that those regions that are catching up to the first world are going to be polluting more, just like the first world currently does
If climate models were not including this source of increased pollution from rising living standards then the models are probably wrong and increased cheap solar may inadvertently be resulting in a net increase in overall pollution and worsening climate change. It is worth analyzing if this is the case or not, and if it is the case then we probably need to adjust climate plans somehow
It seems like a similar situation to how introducing western medical care and pharmaceuticals led to population explosions in many countries as they started to live longer and more children survived to adulthood, without adjusting the number of children families were having
Similarly it is not surprising that increasing the available power in a country could similarly create a consumption explosion as their standard of living suddenly skyrockets
