    “This country is rich because it found oil. The people speak English there and they have lots of trees.” I feel like the video should go a bit deeper than this.

    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 🇬🇾 ❤ 🇸🇷

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'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.

    • @MJYoutubers
      @MJYoutubers 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      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.
