Obama: Planet Will ‘Boil Over' If Africans Are Allowed Cars and Air-Conditioning
July 1, 2013 - 4:22 PM By Ryan Kierman
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama said at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday that unless we find new way of producing energy "the planet will boil over" if people in Africa are allowed to attain air conditioning, automobiles and big houses.
“Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over -- unless we find new ways of producing energy.”
The president’s comments, made the day before unveiling his “Power Africa” initiative for a “sustainable” African energy strategy, came while speaking at University of Johannesburg-Soweto.
According to Obama, global warming constitutes “the biggest challenge we have environmentally,” one greater than all other environmental calamities like “dirty water, dirty air.”
However, the President’s statements do not reflect statistics released by the United Nations: Based on a data released in October, 2012, the World Health Organization estimated that “Global warming” is responsible for approximately 140,000 excess deaths each year.
By comparison, as many as three million people died from indoor and outdoor air pollution – in other words, over 20 times the number of alleged victims of global warming, according to the Word Health Organization.
The list of victims of unclean drinking water is even more staggering.

Logically there’s another shoe which has to fall with this one, i.e. Id’ expect him to come back here and tell us to get rid of OUR cars and air conditioners.
good question
“if they are allowed”??????WTF
balance redacted
It’s getting to where every article I read I have to check to see if it’s satire.
So, anyone wanta’ guess WHO gets to decide who gets a/c and cars and new houses?
If the elites get a/c and the people don’t, they’re really asking for it. That’s something people will riot over.
This is the money statement gang. 100 million dollars it cost. The US is sure getting its moneys worth. /sarc
That’s my Obama! Keeping down the human race!
He’s an intellectual, CNN said so.
Just so long as Africa does tip over like Guam! I’ve just been through a flood on the Bow River, don’t need a tsunami on the Bow!
Queing my inner High School,”he’s such a dildo.”
Does this ass make our continent look big?
"allowed"?
"ALLOWED"!?!?!?!?
Very interesting statement, very transparently revealing his mindset.
We should call it the “tyrant Gene” and get federal grants to study a cure for leftism
So if Americans now start to live like they do in Africa without cars, air conditioning or big houses the world will be saved. Of course the liberal elites will have their air conditioning, big cars and big houses.
“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”
........................................
This is an insightful comment about Obama, etc. The elites (Obama, Bloomberg, Feinstein, etc) want us disarmed because an armed animal is more equal than others, and they don’t like that in us average folk.
Who’s stopping them? Themselves. I am really surprised that Africa hasn’t violently taken over the diamond mines from De Beers. Thing is, once they did, it would unravel within a year as the leaders would scramble to see who could kill off the next guy so they could take over and be king of the hill.
Oh. wait...
