Douglas Murray reacts to Guyana's President slamming BBC host over climate change 'bullying'

Author Douglas Murray reacts to a fiery exchange between Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali and a BBC journalist in which the President hit back after being questioned about his country’s carbon emissions.

The President hit out at BBC’s Stephen Sackur after being asked if the country planned to extract oil and gas along its coast.

"It’s a telling exchange for several reasons, but the most important is the presumption that underlies the BBC interview is questioned," Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“The presumption that we, with our COP Climate Summit, all know what’s best, and you have to just get on board with it.

“You have to fly to the COP Summit, do your duty and fly back and do what you’re told – and here is something that completely breaks that narrative – I was delighted to see it.

“And delighted to see somebody standing up to this and the hectoring and the bullying way of going about things.”
