– President Ali tells prominent environment reporter
Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali has enjoined what now appears to be an increasingly high-tempo and likely prolonged global debate on what would appear to be the rising decibel level on the issue of potentially oil-rich but substantively poor developing and underdeveloped countries, balancing their immediate-term opportunity for accelerated socio-economic development, afforded them by their significant ‘oil wealth’, against mounting pressures for them to set aside the opportunity they now have to increase the rate of oil recovery.
A recent article published by Oil Price.com and authored by energy and finance freelance writer, Felicity Bradstock, addresses what is now being ‘paraded’ in global oil circles as the desirability of substantively poor but ‘oil rich’ countries foregoing, at least in the immediate-term, the opportunity ‘gifted’ them to take full advantage of “their oil and gas opportunity” in order to ease what is being touted as “deeply worrying climate concerns.”
