As a Guyanese 🇬🇾. It is soo sad that the video is only 4 minutes and 17 seconds. There is so much more that you can talk about. You sold the country short

You guyanese are always complaining about something. How about u take that same energy and kick out the corrupted president and vice minister out of office, two of the most Corrupted people in the country right now. I suggest u go watch vice news and ask why the American government is sanctioning their friends and have a microscope on its governmental officials ..

As a Surinamese 🇸🇷 I'm closely watching how our neighbor Guyana is rising with its fastest-growing economy in 2024 due to oil. Meanwhile, our prices in the supermarket are increasing day by day. We used to be one of the wealthiest countries, with things not as expensive as they are now. Like Guyana, we have a lot of natural resources. I wish them continued success and hope that we also get the opportunity to thrive 🇬🇾 ❤ 🇸🇷

@The Geography Bible, just a correction. Our Head of State is not our Prime Minister but our President, Dr. Irfan Ali. Guyana operates on a Unilateral parliament system. As such, the Prime Minister doesnt hold as much standing in govern. The President overlooks the country and the Prime Minister is second to the President. It is striking that you missed this in research my friend. Do better. Love from Guyana 🇬🇾 abd visit when you can ❤🇬🇾🙌

I praise economic growth for the people of Guyana, but I wish it wasn't because of oil. It would be nice to think such rapid growth could be achieved with something other than fossil fuels, as the world tries to decarbonize.
Guyana was also the location of the 1978 Jonestown disaster, which gave new meaning to the word Kool-aid. Have they joined OPEC? I hope they don't end up like Nauru...

Guyana is still one of the poorest country in the western hemisphere everything is more expensive now than before. So call oil find.
It's great that Guyana has such enormous oil reserves they can tap into to grow their economy. It makes it far less likely that they would look to timber as a revenue source, thus preserving the forests and their ecosystems. This is so cool, because the more oil based fuels are used, the more carbon get added to the atmosphere. Plants need carbon like animals and humans need oxygen go survive. The more carbon in the atmosphere, the heslthier the earths vegetation becomes. This in return adds more oxygen to the atmosphere through photosynthesis. It's a win, win, win, situation.

That is not how it works. The more oil burned, the worst it is for the planet because that carbon that you mentioned is EXCESS, its not natural and the plants can’t keep up with the rate of burning fossil fuels (oil in this case) and carbon traps heat making the planet rapidly hotter (climate change). The only difference with Guyana is that its forest preservation makes for a strong carbon sink therefore as a country, they can drill all their oil reserves while still being a net 0 country because said forest preservation. It doesn’t help the world in terms of climate change sure, but Guyana has every right to use their natural resources like every other developed nation has. It’s up to other countries to follow in Guyana’s footsteps preserve their forest and mitigate the damage that they’re doing such as the United States and the UK.
