  1. Guyana former British colonial feeling left out of oil share.
    Blaming on Indian ethnicity
    Blaming on climate impact
    Blaming on govt corruption

  2. 19.5 billion gigatonnes of carbon, is he referring to the weight of the trees as the carbon stored in them? Like because trees have carbon Guyana can pollute more? Is that actually what he’s trying to say?

  3. The president of Guiana should have gone on a different direction and just point out the hypocrisy of a brit, whose country spent 200 years on a fully fledged industrial revolution that caused an ocean of environmental disasters and had a deep impact at a continental level, to chastise a developing nation who indeed did its on fair share of polluting, but nowhere near the scale of what the UK, France, US and other countries did…

  4. The answer is yes. They have a right to do whatever is best for their country and who the F are you or anyone else to tell them how to develop their resources? Did they listen to anyone when they literally went around the world stealing resources from these exact countries. I love my UK cousins but this prick is the poster child for arrogant ahole.

  5. Not to mention all the pollution they caused as a byproduct of the destruction they wreaked upon waging wars to colonize other countries and build their empire. Their economy ran mostly on coal but now that they can afford alternatives, they would try to prohibit others from using more economically viable sources of energy necessary for their respective development.

    What would be their pollution output per capita? Often, those economically developed countries produce more waster per person compared to less economically developed ones. That said, may be they could afford to buy mirrors to look at themselves. Wealth in resources apparently hasn't bought them good standards, except for double standards. With all the material wealth they have amassed, both through legitimate means and through plunder, they still have a dearth of integrity and principles.

  6. So refreshing to see the African nations and some Asian nations standing up to the hippocracy of west and their God given right to poke nose in other peoples matters when their own home is falling apart
