"Global South" doesn't mean literally countries in the Southern hemisphere.

I know? I am using that page as a reference.

Where? I don't know if your comment had the actual lists of countries in the global north and south previously but it doesn't have it now.

In any case, your analysis is incomplete. It's missing per-capita emissions and cumulative historical emissions.

No it didn't the list is too long...I had originally included Australia in the GS but moved it to the GN as per that wiki page. Here's the list I ended up with: https://pastebin.com/f50S0TNa. (Some minor errors still in there, like North Korea and Taiwan are incorrectly labeled.)

Of course my "analysis" is incomplete, I wasn't trying to do a complete analysis, just get an idea for where all the carbon emissions come from. Apparently ~2/3 comes from the Global South (currently). Forecasting models don't have normative parameters.
