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.

Was just waiting for that one to appear!
:: looking for the “satire” or “humor” tags ::
So, Barry! Will you only air condition your white half?
the media will give him a ass like 57 states Austrian is a language, the man is a complete dope and stupid but in his mind he;s so smart.
Africans are allowed to attain those items. It's just that throughout much of Africa, the people have proven incapable of creating societies where air conditioning, autos, and big houses exist.
Obastard is batting zero in Africa, isn’t he? Yes, tell them that they will continue to live in squalor so that Obastard can spend hundreds of millions of dollars to promote the liberal agenda.
“the planet will boil over”...what an idiot. He’s starting to sound like Hank Johnson (Guam tipping over).
******
Maybe this comment qualifies for the 25th Amendment?
I just did a search on Yahoo and only one site has that quote posted...and it’s not a mainstream site. Nothing to see here.
Because some Africans are more equal than others. Him for example. His energy use in Hawaii on vacay would suffice to support a 100 or more “moved up” Africans in his scenario.
Must be a combination of his white half and his Muslim half.
why hte hell isn’t the GOP makign a video RIGHT NOW looping this asinine statement over and over againm, abnd showing Africans livign in squalor, then showing several prominent scientists claimign that dear leader does NOT nkow the truth abotu climate change and is just politicising a non issue?
Somebody needs to!
How about teleprompters?
Hey, he’s doing and saying what any good marxist would do, esp. in a country run (or being ruined) by marxists (Zuma, Oliver, etc).
It is the equivalent of going to marxist Zimbabwe and telling the people that they should not have too much food because of the energy and water needed to produce them (a policy that Mugabe has been using to control the population since he took power).
COmrade Obama has actually returned “home”, to Africa, much as his communist father did (only he turned out to be a nearly complete failure). The son learned from his father’s failings and has no intention of repeating them, in Africa or the US or Latin America.
To paraphrase Obama, “I am the one you have been looking for” (I am the comrade leader you have been looking for, whether you wanted me or not).
I thought this had to be satire. But it’s on the White House web site, almost at the bottom of the page:
Ouch! The stupid, it burns!
Equal health care for all at double the insurance rates, and 3/4 the quality. But some will be more equal than others— and have high quality “free” healthcare as they dictate to us from Hawaii. The man is a complete ass, saying this to people who have led the world in SA with high tech equipment and sitting on natural resources the liberal world wants. The chineee for instance.
I bet one could find a quote of Obama’s along the line of “And thank God we banned DDT. Just think what Africa would be like with another 1,000,000 kids surviving every year.”
(Okay, the 1,000,000 dead from malaria, mainly kids, is a world-wide number; but...)
Lame @$$ pubbies.
