The presidential statement made by Guyana’s President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali to BBC on the critical issue of climate change was a noticeable one. In the interview, he made it clear what position the state has and convinced the viewers of his long-term stance. This interview (now become a viral sensation on the platforms such as YouTube) features a strong stance made by the nation’s president and the urgency in the battle against the climate change.
The moment turned to a frank discussion whereby President Ali succinctly expresses his nation’s stance on climate change, without shrouding the role a countryis,and indeed,the whole world have in mitigating the destructive impacts of climate change. This man achieved to be absolutely distinct in his way of making it clear that there was no time to waste and that the main idea could no way be other but the substance of the discussion. Despite the leader of another country trying to deprive him of his right to be part of a team, he remained steadfastly determined and argued that it couldn’t be any other way.
A few hours into posting the video the social media space was witnessing a commuting frenzy as people from across the world picked up on the tactics the presenter was proffering and started estimating their carbon footprint just to check if they were making better eco-choices. The President’s loggerhead is coated with wit and implacability that have made him a darling of people who applaud the environmental protection course.
In response to the interviewer’s change of topics, President Ali did not relent but stated extra impassional, “I’m not finished yet”. This point highlights his tireless fight and his persistence to be heard on issues of nationalistic nature for the benefit of the planet.
The popularity of that video brings into view the world wide attention that the fight against global warming needs. It shows that everyone can and must be involved in the fight. The more authoritative and assured image of President Ali has scaled up Guyana’s words in the global stage of negotiation plus internationally people are set ablaze with a new vigor of commitment and action.
