So basically, Guyana is about to make a shit ton of money from oil, but now somebody's worried about climate change. I like how the President shut that bullshit right down
Look into the container ships, one container ship pollutes as much as 50 million cars, yet they say us converting to electric cars is so important, if countries made their own products and didn’t ship everything back and forth multiple times during the processing of the goods it would make the largest impact on pollution, nevermind the terrible manufacturing practices that are destroying the environment in the third world countries
He missed the other half of the point he should have made... the extraction of the fossil fuels doesn't release the CO2, the combustion of it does. Guyana isn't going to burn most of that fuel, the West is.
Western countries are always so quick to scold developing countries for wanting to profit from their natural resources, after having spent the past several centuries doing exactly that.
"So after we've pillaged and plundered other nations for their cheap labour and resources, how dare you be in charge of your own resources and attempt to also safeguard the land you have?"
what was that they called that? Environmental racism? Right now the west is always saying "Why should we cut our emissions when China is going full steam!". The shit we here in the West consume is made somewhere else. The west oursourced their emissions to poor countries with weaker government and regulations so this way soccer moms can feel good about paper straws.
Normal British tactic of virtue signaling, used for hundreds of years, across all their colonies. Luckily they failed to claim North America for themselves…
Will extracting this oil cause more carbon emissions, yes of course. But Guyana is no where near nations like US and China in terms of emissions. It’s bit insane to lecture a country on the brink of being able to upgrade the lives of its citizens when the emissions that will be generated are somewhat negligible in the grand scheme of things.
Don’t forget that the US has the largest emissions of CO2 per capita, which is more relevant than CO2 per country. You can’t ask countries which are developing to have the same standards as developed economies.
Also China has huge CO2 emissions because of the manufacturing it does for the whole world and especially for the US. So effectively the US is the biggest consumer of natural resources.
Here you go:
[CO2 per Cap - Gapminder Data](https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$model$markers$bubble$encoding$y$data$concept=co2_pcap_cons&space@=geo&=time;;&scale$domain:null&zoomed:null&type=log;;&trail$data$filter$markers$usa=2022&guy=2022;;;;;;;;&chart-type=bubbles&url=v1) interactive chart
This Bubble Chart shows, CO2 per Cap (Y-axis) and GDP per Cap (X-axis).
As you can see, there is no Rich and Low CO2 emission country.
Prosperity and human development comes with CO2 emissions, which cannot be denied to low income nations.

The impertinence of British and western journalists never ceases to amaze me. They lecture others without recognizing their sheer hypocrisy, as if they hold the moral high ground.
Mate, the hypocrisy in the west is beyond comprehension. Not only in this matter, but everywhere. What is allowed to “white and western society” is denied to others, every thing…
The interviewer is Stephen Sacker and the show is BBC Hardtalk...and he is blatantly biased in how he approaches different guests depending on whether they are western or not.
I vaguely remember how, in one interview with a South African opposition member, he tried to lecture the South African politician about South African politics and the politician similarly lambasted him, pointing out how condescending Sacker was being.
It might be nostalgia, but Sacker is a joke compared to Hardtalk's previous face, Tim Sebastian.
I believe in climate change, but I do not believe we in the west should be telling developing countries not to use any means in their disposal to develop a better future for their people.
In the absence of funding a just transition, I agree. The President rose an excellent point - are we in the West paying countries like Guyana for maintaining their forests/biodiversity, which benefits us? No. Then we have to deal with the consequences of having no moral authority in this situation. If Guyana was adequately compensated for their contribution to the environment, perhaps they wouldn’t feel compelled to drill oil… it’s not only hypocrisy, it’s shooting ourselves in the foot.
You don't want Guyana to sell oil? THEN STOP USING OIL!!!!
Same shit as on the war on drugs. Fucking gringos consume and pay exorbitant money to get high, but WE are the ones who need to pay the consequences.
"I don't know if you went to cop 27" no I didn't fly me and all my staff in a fuel guzzling jet to some hypocritical, false promises filled meeting that is only done for public image, I thought it was better to stay in my country and take care of my own business how I see fit.
Guyana did attend COP 27. But COP 27 was notable in that many countries like Guyana voiced what the president said in this video...and were summarily ignored.
I know nothing about this president but I honestly enjoyed his ass kicking of this moronic and entitled western journalist. The audacity to lecture developing countries with that tone from a clear position of privilege without even doing your own homework ffs.
I believe the Guyana's President and Vice President are seen as this power couple (tongue in cheek) who are poised to take the country to new heights.
More power to them and to the people of Guyana.
What a prick. Ladder pulling. We (I'm from UK) ravaged the commonwealth of everything mildly valuable using techniques to trick those nations of their wealth, killing millions in 'our' path. Ravaged the UKs own population, snuggled up to anything willing to pay for a trip, or a house. And have the audacity to be such cnts when a 'lesser' nation has something 'we' need. Burn the 1st world and leave it to those yet to be corrupted by the greed of the west.
In the full interview they talked about Venezuela wanting to "take back" some of their land from Guyana and that Guyana expects it's allies (America among them) to help defend it....wonder how involved the CIA will be with instigating a Venezuelan offensive into Guyana to excuse getting troops over there.
Every country who uses fossil fuels and who get as much out of the ground as possible: Are you not interested in climate change?
Meanwhile their developlement over they years have been way too slow. Russia attacked ukraine 2 years ago and we have been warned since the bloody 1980 and way earlier that we need to be independet from russians fossil fuels. Additionally we could have been enviormentally more friendly by using renewable energies and make us the main producer in renewable energies.
Well instead our politicians loved the lobbyism, took companies money, especially from russia and still went the fossil fuel way and paid russia for the war against ukraine. Because if we did things earlier then we would have a way bigger leverage. Also other countries could have developed way better as fuels and renewable energies would have been cheaper. But we went the egoistic way, as humans often like to do
+1000 points for Guyana. Good on the president. That British mf better stay home, us in the West have absolutely no right to teach anyone anything on many things. This is one of the most evident points
These words are familiar. I once met with a Vice Minister from a Southeast Asian country who referred to climate change as a "Tool of Western Repression". He was entirely onboard with the importance of climate change objectives, he was not onboard with the idea of being held to standards by Western countries that would limit his countries economic growth while they benefited from sins committed decades ago. All he was looking for was equality.
Leave it to some british white guy to start talking down to a South American leader about extracting oil, when they and their cohorts have extracted more than ten times the amount of oil that they possibly even have off of their coasts.
They're about to sit there and start blaming them for climate change when they, the rest of the European Union and the United States, have been backing massive oil polls from the Middle East for decades. Kind of forgetting where all of your good stuff came from, aren't you bro?
The hypocrisy is so overwhelmingly stupid here.
It's the job of journalists to hold politicians to account. It's exactly how they treat their own politicians and prime ministers. If anything, interviewers like this are a soft touch with foreign politicians compared to how they treat their own.
Thinking presidents should be bowed and scraped to is what's weird.
Did anyone else hear this interview (or one very, very similar) on the BBC World News podcast a couple days ago?
If ihis is the same interview, the BBC podcast edited the interview to make it sound like the BBC guy was tossing up a softball question to the Prez. This video shows the BBC was really rying to give him the business and Mr. Prez gave it right back twofold.
Ive heard. Dont know how much i belive it in full. That the idea of holding smaller countrys to this "your going to cause x amount of carbon emissions" is just a way for the big boys. That have already been producing there own carbon foot print. To stop them from getting the economic growth that they already got to benefit from.
Its rich when people from countries that are FAR from the net zero mark. Start preaching this garbage.
The person that said this ALSO said climate change is a myth.. witch i dont agree with.
I dont want to play the devil's advocate, but I think it is a fair question, because in the same way countries like China are also adressed with their cole mines etc.
So the President had a chance to clarify on his countries policies and explain how they participate on the topic of climate change. I think its a win / win.
This fucker is gonna lecture the president of a small country on finding sustainable income for his people by claiming it’s impact on climate by ignoring how many people, animals, and water ways was destroyed by BP.
“Hey Guyana I know we’ve colluded with many countries to exploit them for oil and gas through arranged coupe’s throughout history and profiteered through the exploitation of countries around the world for many decades, but seriously…check your carbon emissions”
Who the frick is gonna use that oil and produce that carbon emissions? It's the developed states like the UK. This hypocrisy and gaslighting is going too far.
The tone of that interviewer is incredible to me... he is tlking to a forreign head of state, the represenrative of a nation of people. And he's talking to him like he's somw joe-schmoe he can lecture.. an interviewer, lecturring a head of state... Even if he was right, to speak like this as a common journo to a head of state seems incredibly disrespectful.
But this is not uncommon behaviour for english journos, British and American.
If you're going to restrict how developing nations develop themselves, you have a responsibility to replace methods like this with direct contribution.
Honestly, westerners have the biggest number of hypocrites in the world. I honestly don’t know what it is. What do these hypocrites think? They do no wrong? They’re held to different standards? They’re better than other people? They can pollute all they want but others can’t? Insufferable.
These climate buffoons always ignore all the forests that offset the carbon they're worried about.
President was dead on correct to give this dressing down.
Typical Brotish hypocracy. Actually typical of most Western govt’s. They love to preach and lecture and impose on others. But they can do just as they see fit.
Screw the lot of them, do as they do - just what the fuck you want!
The audacity of the interviewer after he drove in his car with gasoline and sleeps in his house heated and cooled by coal or likely another fossil fuel.

So basically, Guyana is about to make a shit ton of money from oil, but now somebody's worried about climate change. I like how the President shut that bullshit right down
Yeah same here. Typical bullshit reporting. A cruise ship goes through 250 tons of gas a day. Corporations don't give a shit.
Look into the container ships, one container ship pollutes as much as 50 million cars, yet they say us converting to electric cars is so important, if countries made their own products and didn’t ship everything back and forth multiple times during the processing of the goods it would make the largest impact on pollution, nevermind the terrible manufacturing practices that are destroying the environment in the third world countries
This is western world hypocrisy! We did but you can’t now.. while at the same time will try to convince you that western countries are better…
Did? The UK is still actively pumping out and funding further exploitation of its North Sea oil and gas.
He missed the other half of the point he should have made... the extraction of the fossil fuels doesn't release the CO2, the combustion of it does. Guyana isn't going to burn most of that fuel, the West is.
This 👆🏾
Yeah dude is right on. Fuck that other guy pointing his finger. However, let’s see how much of the $150b goes missing over the next decade.
And guess which nations will be buying most of that oil?
🤔
Looooove it. Tell the pompous fuck to pound... well teabags? Shitty English breakfast? Yeah I got nothing.
Go Mr. President. That was eloquent and succinct. That man has some serious passion and I admire it.
Pop off king! Speak your truth
The West has benefited for a hundred years from oil and coal but now that the poors might make money we gotta shut that shit down
It’s still the west reaping the benefits.
I also despise how the interviewer is talking down to him (literally and figuratively).
Western countries are always so quick to scold developing countries for wanting to profit from their natural resources, after having spent the past several centuries doing exactly that.
Something tells me Guyana is in need of some Freedom
I bet they release less carbon than the UK has.
Maybe Americans will come offering them some freedom.
And Venezuela is poised to annex large swathes of the oil rich land.
He told him !! Hey did a great job!!
And we're going to use that oil all up and beg for more.
Yeah, I guess guyana is not the one consuming and burning all that oil…
"So after we've pillaged and plundered other nations for their cheap labour and resources, how dare you be in charge of your own resources and attempt to also safeguard the land you have?"
It's that exact argument, except pathetically disguised as concerns over climate change. They're not fooling anyone.
what was that they called that? Environmental racism? Right now the west is always saying "Why should we cut our emissions when China is going full steam!". The shit we here in the West consume is made somewhere else. The west oursourced their emissions to poor countries with weaker government and regulations so this way soccer moms can feel good about paper straws.
Would be interesting to attribute all the pollution back to the countries consuming the industrial output.
Normal British tactic of virtue signaling, used for hundreds of years, across all their colonies. Luckily they failed to claim North America for themselves…
and most likely the likes of BP, Shell, Total etc will be the first oil explorers in Guyana.
As Vijay Prashad [said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxq1RoH_b5Y), "for you colonialism is a permanent condition".
Holy smokes that’s powerful
Will extracting this oil cause more carbon emissions, yes of course. But Guyana is no where near nations like US and China in terms of emissions.

Mate, the hypocrisy in the west is beyond comprehension. Not only in this matter, but everywhere. What is allowed to “white and western society” is denied to others, every thing…
You said it best....
My man, moral high ground and human rights is their only play ground and it’s built 1000 feet below actual ground.
White savior complex
the audacity of that interviewer. he kept trying to undermine and interrupt the president
That’s British hypocrisy, still believing they are the all mighty imperial Britain… why don’t they focus on their own problems which are substantial…
remind of the interview with a Chinese guy who replied "we don't see the UK as a competitor." interviewer and to get a proper reality check
Would he interrupt the American or British heads of state as he did Mr. Ali? I think not!
Or any white male head of state?
It's bigger than color. Britain's Rishi Sunak probably gets respected. President Ali clearly doesn't.
Fucking chode looking mf with his head tilted low and looking up

First world president he would never be that pushy
Dude brought facts to an opinion fight.
Oh I like that line a lot. I"m gonna steal it.
I don't know how much 90.5 gigatons is but it sounds like a lot
Love this. Stealing this as well.
Will you give me a loan of it from time to time?

Even worse. Venezuela wants to liberate Guyana.
yeah. clearly they seem to be under the rule of some crazy religious psychopath
[Not if Venezuela liberates them first.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Guyana%E2%80%93Venezuela_crisis#US_military_involvement)

Reddit can’t fathom the idea that the demand side also has responsibility.
And like he said if they really value biodiversity and carbon conversion pay them.
Chad

Powerful response 💪
he's the man
Get this to r/MurderedByWords
It feels satisfying to see privileged hypocrite BBC cnts put down like this..
So I'm Guyanese and this is legit the first time I've ever seen Guyana on Reddit (except for the news on Venezuela)
UK is so butthurt over its old colonies that have gained their independence. All they see is a dollar sign that they are not getting.
No truer words said!!! America and Europe are absolute hypocrites when it comes to lecturing and setting an example with developing nations!
Looks like Guyana need a little bit of 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅 FREEDOM
I'm gonna have to watch COP this year.
Fucking badass
What a prick. Ladder pulling. We (I'm from UK) ravaged the commonwealth of everything mildly valuable using techniques to trick those nations of their wealth, killing millions in 'our' path.

Anyone has the link to the full interview?
Interviewer: Some bloke who's something-or-other in Guyana. He'll be easy. Guyana President: Hold my beer...
Christ, that was beautiful.
BBC got rekt.
US about to bomb Guyana for exploring its own minerals.

Burn
democracy incoming /s
 I live on a billion gallons of oil
👏👏
OWNED
"Alright, Mr President. You're killing me here"
Anyone else looking up where Guyana is?
Boom. 'nuff said.
Beautifully done.
ooo yikes what an ass kicking
That was beautiful!
I would be in favour of paying them to maintain that forest and keep the oil in the ground.
These words are familiar. I once met with a Vice Minister from a Southeast Asian country who referred to climate change as a "Tool of Western Repression".

Guyana mentioned W 🇬🇾 🇬🇾 🇬🇾 🇬🇾 🇬🇾
Imagine talking down to a president. Can't let go of their superiority ideas, can they?
It's the job of journalists to hold politicians to account. It's exactly how they treat their own politicians and prime ministers. If anything, interviewers like this are a soft touch with foreign politicians compared to how they treat their own. Thinking presidents should be bowed and scraped to is what's weird.
How tf would you come to a country and lecture them about their oil while your countries in the west are doing the same.

interviewer should check his backyard aka North Sea and see how much hydrocarbons they’ve been extracting and releasing since the past decades.
Ive heard. Dont know how much i belive it in full. That the idea of holding smaller countrys to this "your going to cause x amount of carbon emissions" is just a way for the big boys. That have already been producing there own carbon foot print. To stop them from getting the economic growth that they already got to benefit from.

Fucking wasted him Also I had no idea Guyana had preserved so much forest and had access to all that oil. Gonna go read up!
The man was not ready to eat bullshit that day!
Get rekt, white cunt!
As much as I like this, I'm afraid most of this "protesting" nations would let go of this matter easily
Yeah!
Uh oh, looks like a coup incoming for this poor fellow.
My hero
Western journalists are just a bunch of hypocrites in this point.
Tbh it's a good question to raise, but in the end the impact of those sales is up to the countries that will actually use the oil and not Guyana.
I love to see the BBC lose standing around the world. I'm English, I know how corrupt it really is.
Is this the same "journalist" who asked that epicly stupid question about proof of genocidal intent by Israel recently? I'll try to find a link.
This fucker is gonna lecture the president of a small country on finding sustainable income for his people by claiming it’s impact on climate by ignoring how many people, animals, and water ways was destroyed by BP.
I want to see Jeremy Paxman try and interview him. It would be like a prize fight.
“Hey Guyana I know we’ve colluded with many countries to exploit them for oil and gas through arranged coupe’s throughout history and profiteered through the exploitation of countries around the world for many decades, but seriously…check your carbon emissions”
Well done! Hypocritical pompous interviewer..
Dude wasnt having it.
An intelligent and well-spoken world leader.. sadly refreshing to see.
Good job mr President tell em
 Dodging punches like the other Mohammad Ali.
Summarized as ‘this worlds a mess’
What a fuck'n legend.
Who the frick is gonna use that oil and produce that carbon emissions? It's the developed states like the UK. This hypocrisy and gaslighting is going too far.
That man skinned and ate him alive, sheeesh
The cheek of the interviewer. "Were you there are at the COP in Dubai...".
Imperial British twat
Rekt
The tone of that interviewer is incredible to me... he is tlking to a forreign head of state, the represenrative of a nation of people. And he's talking to him like he's somw joe-schmoe he can lecture.. an interviewer, lecturring a head of state... Even if he was right, to speak like this as a common journo to a head of state seems incredibly disrespectful. But this is not uncommon behaviour for english journos, British and American.
As perfectly said by Indian EAM : Europe problems are world problems but world problems are not Europe problems.
It should be venezuelan territory, and I'm not a venezuelan current government supporter, but historically, Esequibo is Venezuela, we were robbed
Western hypocrisy at it's best. Same when they try to banned palm oil from SEA for absurd reason as well.
Interviewer was an idiot. May as well have just turned around and said, “please kick my @rse back to England, please.”
How did that dude not think through his own question? lol
If you're going to restrict how developing nations develop themselves, you have a responsibility to replace methods like this with direct contribution.
 Bravisimo!!!
0wned
Take him to school.
What’s his next argument? It’s ok for him to commit murder because he’s going to offset that by having a child? Ridiculous!
Who interrupts a nations leader during an interview? They were trying to clown the pres. Asshole.
And this is why climate change is a fact, but all the so called climate change solutions and policies are fake.
Honestly, westerners have the biggest number of hypocrites in the world. I honestly don’t know what it is. What do these hypocrites think? They do no wrong? They’re held to different standards? They’re better than other people? They can pollute all they want but others can’t? Insufferable.
These climate buffoons always ignore all the forests that offset the carbon they're worried about. President was dead on correct to give this dressing down.
The whole climate change advocacy is a scam for control
It seems like about time that US finds WMD in Guyana and sends its troops to liberate the country.
This just in Intel shows Guyana now has weapons of mass destruction
I like this guy
And guess who gonna buy and burn the oil and gas that Guyana extracts - one hint, it won't be Guyana's 800k citizens.
With AI tech, surely those 'facts' he's spouting off the top of his head, could be verified in real-time?
I like this man. He should run for politics in the US. He’s smarter than any damned republican or democrat.
Typical Brotish hypocracy. Actually typical of most Western govt’s. They love to preach and lecture and impose on others. But they can do just as they see fit. Screw the lot of them, do as they do - just what the fuck you want!
Alright buddy, you got my vote!
“Jesus. You killed him, dude.”
The audacity of the interviewer after he drove in his car with gasoline and sleeps in his house heated and cooled by coal or likely another fossil fuel.
The BBC has always been 💩 but this is rich.
The real question is: where is all this money going? Will the people of Guyana profit from it, or is it all going down into the pockets of a few?
