What?

Climate change is obviously not a hoax.

The Guyana President didn't dismantle anything. He obviously attacks the intervewer with whataboutist bullshit, when he could have given an easy answer to an easy question. He's remarkably defensive because he doesn't understand how easy it is to answer the question. He also knows Guyana is incredibly corrupt and will do whatever it wants with its resources. (Guyana ranks 87 out of 180 countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index.) Various countries aren't working on climate change goals, especially those that have endemic corruption. The President can note simply that climate change goals aren't currently a priority for Guyana and leave it at that.

Guyana has a forest larger than the UK that can absorb the oil carbon gases. Climate change may not be a hoax, but it is a scam to get more money out of people by greenmailing them. By saying they pollute they must pay, but Guyana has a forest to counter the carbon.

That's not a reason to put sea life in danger for no reason other than greed.

A scientific fact is not a scan. First I've seen the term, 'greenmailing'. Green energy can be very profitable and create jobs. And Guyana's government can easily state that they are not in a position currently to avoid taking bribes from Big Oil for the exploitation of their resources, like so many other countries. That's a scam.

Mature forests don't sequester much CO2.

Only young ones that are still putting on net boimass.

No it's not. It's something we know about what happens when you increase the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gasses.

by greenmailing them.

I don't think you know what that word means.

Guyana is almost entirely at sea level as are most of the worlds cities. If sea levels were actually rising cities would've been evacuated decades ago. Further, the hoax of global warming or the progression of climate change isn't much of a concern, considering the Venezuelan's are about to take half of Guyana back and the British are in no condition to provide them any real support to deter it.
