Leaving…oil in ground!!

If you wanna know how gullible – “schupid” in Guyanese!! – some Guyanese are, you just gotta listen to them joining the developed countries in demanding we “leave our oil in the ground”!! Or in our case, under the Atlantic!! What’s interesting is most of them reside luxuriously in the said developed countries – which became developed by using machinery powered by burning (polluting) oil they extracted from every country they could get their (oily) hands on by hook or (mostly) crook!!
We know – as they know – however, that those countries that created the crisis being unleashed on us – who’re calling on us to leave our oil to “save our planet” – aren’t only continuing to burn oil – literally like it’s going out of style!! They’re devising new ways of getting out even microscopic droplets from under shale rocks – with techniques like “FRACKING” used by the Yanks. Here, they force water, sand, and a mix of chemicals into horizontally drilled wells, causing the shale to crack and release natural gas or oil. The technique makes them the largest oil producers on planet Earth!!
So it was to address these virtue-signalling trolls that at COP-30 in Brazil, Pressie didn’t mince words: calling a spade a spade, he said such calls are “protectionism for the wealthy countries”!! So we should remain in our centuries-old state of misery and underdevelopment and not use our oil to fund our way out while they continue to follow the motto “Burn, baby!! Burn!!” – oil, that is?!! And get a free ride on our misery as they lend us money – from their oil sales at exorbitant interest – to fund development but actually sell our future!!
What makes Pressie’s calling them out even more noteworthy is the rank hypocrisy shown by many of them at earlier COPs when they promised to contribute stated amounts of their GDP to halt global warming beyond the tipping point of 1.5 degrees centigrade!! Implicitly conceding that they caused the crisis and buying their way out!! But they’ve all reneged, as they demand we leave our oil under the ground AND switch to renewables!! Showing that they really have no consciences: their rule is to always look out for number one!!
Another outrage is that some of them are denying the very reality of global warming – to get out of making their contributions. If there ain’t no problem, what’s there to fix? But we can be an example for a principled path on reducing global warming – just by showing that through our conservation of our carbon-sequestrating forests and increasing our production of electricity from natural gases and renewables, we are actually negative on carbon contribution!!
Pressie showed that we get to eat our cake and have it too!! Virtuously!!

…the gridlocked??
Your Eyewitness is quite amused by Sanction Man’s handlers’ audacity to dare talk about lack of “democratic norms” in scheduling the next National Assembly’s and Reg 10 RDC’s sittings. Was handing out money to get people to vote for WIN a “democratic norm”?? In the former, let’s not get carried away that WIN’s just chomping at the bits to debate the Government in the hallowed chamber!! They just wanna have Sanction Man elected “Opposition Leader”!!
And just as his only motive was to follow Pablo Escobar and become “legitimised” by handing some ordinary folks houses, etc., his motive to become “Opposition Leader” is solely to claim he’s being “politically persecuted” when his inevitable extradition order is issued!! And on the Reg 10 matter, since APNU and FGM joined with the PPP to checkmate him – nine to nine at the RDC – doesn’t he realise with such divergent groups a lot of negotiation gotta take place??
He thinks this is simple – like bribing Government officials to smuggle gold??

…Mad Maduro stewing
A lot of folks are getting antsy about whether President Trump is pacing about the White House mumbling (Hamlet-like!!) “To strike or not to strike (Mad Maduro)!!” The decision’s already been made – just the timing’s left!!
