If Guyana is under threat by natural phenomena or climate change due to pollution, we need to put our best foot forward and present logical solutions to safeguard our beloved country from disaster. This one issue that no one is certain of but jumping on each other is definitely the wrong way to confront climate change. If this is not your cup of tea leave it alone.
