Douglas Murray reacts to Guyana's President slamming BBC host over climate change 'bullying'

Author Douglas Murray reacts to a fiery exchange between Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali and a BBC journalist in which the President hit back after being questioned about his country’s carbon emissions.
The President hit out at BBC’s Stephen Sackur after being asked if the country planned to extract oil and gas along its coast.
"It’s a telling exchange for several reasons, but the most important is the presumption that underlies the BBC interview is questioned," Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“The presumption that we, with our COP Climate Summit, all know what’s best, and you have to just get on board with it.
“You have to fly to the COP Summit, do your duty and fly back and do what you’re told - and here is something that completely breaks that narrative - I was delighted to see it.
“And delighted to see somebody standing up to this and the hectoring and the bullying way of going about things.”

[@whatacrazyride1658]

@@user-vj4hs3li8d Well, what I certainly missed at the time I asked these questions was the actual interview where the "fish slapping" took place, but what I might still be missing is whether Guyanese Guys would consider themselves Caribbean? In other words, I saw the excitement about a video clip that actually cut the content of the President, awkwardly, and your statement of rooting on a fellow Guyanese fish slapping an Arrogant " Beeb" seems a little more explanatory to me, regardless of my not knowing what a Beeb is. This brings me to my point, I have now watched the whole video which was hard for me to find on KZbin, and that Hard Talk Announcer was what I would perceive as worse than a Beeb, and your countryman and president seemed to hold just about the right tone for his style of arrogant and loaded interview. What was readily apparent was the sophistication that the presenter attempted to display was met forcefully in a way that was consistent, nuanced, and sophisticated in its full presentation and not an act. He has a perfect way of making this kind of presenter look like such a fool with his calm repetition of what he already explained, that left me focused on just how pathetic this guy's hard talk was, because the response showed his growing impatience and refusal to accept a perfectly reasonable answer several times in a row which is a baby's way of argument. His refusal to throw Exxon or the previous regime under the bus emotionally when given the charged questions, showed a guy who is at the top of his game who will be able to renegotiate because of his steady hand. Bravo, your guy let the presenter make a fool out of himself and deftly let Venezuela know that if they decide to get aggressive that they will have a fight on their hands from a strategic and calm under pressure leader who has done the backend lining up of allies. So, I am not jealous, but I am impressed.

I didn't know we were that important, what with us only being around for about 150,000 years and barely being a tiny sliver of an inconsequential blip on a planet that still hasn't even noticed we're here.

Because there's absolutely no way that this unpredictable lump of rock tumbling through the cosmos since the beginning of time could have possibly experienced tumultuous climate changes for *_14 BILLION YEARS_* before our particular species of slimy liars, cheats and thieves crawled out of the stinking swamps and decided that paying money was the only way to save us all.

My 86 year old father tells me that the only good thing about the good old days is that they are gone, he tells me stories about growing up in outback towns, living in tin shacks, scorching heat, rarely fruit to eat, few sweets, lots of kids dying from diphtheria, everyone terrified of things like tetanus and Syphilis and old men drinking themselves to death because life had become unbearable . No phones, doctors that couldn’t be afforded for most, my grandfather worked putting in fence posts until he was 72 and just went home and died one night, his youngest child was raised by the orphanage because all the other children in the family were struggling to keep themselves alive and couldn’t care for a small child, there was no welfare, only charity provided by the church, things are much better now . I hope it doesn’t regress.

Can't understand WHY CARBO DIOXIDE is so DANGEROUS. TREES NEED CO2 in order to survive!!

[@whatacrazyride1658]

It is dangerous because it is impossible to stop carbon emissions on a planet where all life is carbon-based. It is dangerous because the people of the world who are trying to keep their grip on power by any means necessary must have catastrophic enemies and disasters in order to maintain the splits between us that enable them to appear powerful and needed.. Instead of a Paris climate Accord, and a who, and gain of function research, and nuclear armed enemies,and communist activists would all probably look a lot different to us., and the leaders at he forefront of these a tual dangerous things would just look silly to us in their goofy outfits. And their outrageous pomp and circumstance. You have to confuse while you split the people and preoccupy their heads with nonsense that is hard to correct quickly and effectively without already agreeing in advance have a conversation , and a deep one that you don't want to evoke so publically in that it could feel like a rebuke. So, if you want reply to someone who is pushing for escalation literally, then by all means , I could

[@whatacrazyride1658]

Reply to all who are out there making ridiculous claims that appear to point at, climate and CO2, ask them how they measure the average temperature of the Earth for a day? Then ask them how long has this method been used and what is the confidence level that your measurements over time are accurate enough to make the ohhhhn yeah

[@recur9245]

The whole thing is bullshit the earth will change regardless, the only thing I don't like is mass deforestation for mono crops as it's destroying bio diversity and throwing the natural cycle out of sync But apart from that climate change thing is bullshit and is an agenda which probably going to add to some social credit and carbon tax to control your movement

[@godbyone]

Coastlines haven’t changed. That’s why elites. By beachfront property

[@richardmoss5934]

The elites hope that not everyone is as smart as you, smart people are difficult to control!

[@Hyaphill]

That's how we in the west indies do it. We don't take that foolish from no one. Tell it to Dubai UAE etc. they won't dear.

[@seanhadden813]

It was exactly S.Sakur's aloof stance on Climate Change that started me to question it... after watching an interview about 15 years ago... Thanks to Stephen I immediately thought: "My my... there seems to be a whole lot more that we aren't supposed to talk about on this subject!"

[@behemothsbaby]

Fabulous response Guyana! They need protection from Venezuela!

[@mikesolns1364]

It's not Venezuela, it's the Marxist tyrants that currently kidnap her

[@TG-ts3xn]

🇬🇧 they’ve got it.

[@whatacrazyride1658]

Who knows what the actual response was

[@behemothsbaby]

@@whatacrazyride1658 , did you watch the whole interview? I highly suggest it! President Mohammad Irfaan Ali was brilliant and Sackur was owned!

[@whatacrazyride1658]

@@behemothsbaby no, I only watched this video and thought it was a terrible edit to not include any of his lecture that he announces and is cut off immediately in the edit. It just seems to be a weird way to go about making this video

[@edgar-edgarton]

How to go Guyana! This BBC host is the one who is ignorant.

[@jdantigua1999]

Dr. Ali knows the facts. Perfect. Yes perfect response 😂🎉

[@radioactivepotato2068]

What an absolute Don.

[@501Mobius]

What would the elites say about Australians saying more recent immigrants from the Middle East should feel doubly guilty as new invaders?

[@franceskronenwett3539]

They are not white immigrants so therefore they are more acceptable apparently.

Go cry to the Aboriginal people.
