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.

For $500, who is “Satan”? Alex.
LOL....
Yeah, Obama - “keep those darkies down in the gutters, brother.” /sarc
The Klan couldn’t do in 60 years what this clown has done in 5.
Heck, the Klan never even got so bold as to think about oppressing actual Africans.
Enter, Obama. The Racist. The Clown.
If we give them US dollars Obumbler is wasting our energy to work and pay taxes.
The give away king Obumbler.
Hell no- dude apparently keep the WH thermostat at 68 in dead summer— he not gonna be hot. And at 82 in dead winter.
Lying gore-ite. Al-Gorezeera should cover this.
Obama:””the planet will boil over” if people in Africa are allowed to attain air conditioning, automobiles and big houses. “
Racism. He’s an Oreo.
Fing lunatic!
They could air condition half of Africa with the energy BO has expended on this tour.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“The comments he made regarding air conditioning and no cars will come to our country as fast as he can bring it, count on it.”
How soon before we are told if we own more than one automobile we must sell the “extras”?
Delusions of grandeur since he has been able to get some GOPe on his side.
In retrospect he would deny the same comforts of modern life that enjoys. Comfort for me is not for thee ye shall be denied!
I would suggest a billion in foreign aid to Africa for breeding purposes to build a new fleet of Oxen to increase transit of goods, and axes for the fuel of cooking fires. Water buffalo can be substituted as well.
Wood will easily burn in all those stoves that were sent.
No need for nat gas or elect.
The warmist theory goes that CO2 despite being a trace gas necessary to the entire ecosystem...will warm the planet by increasing the amount of humidity in the atmosphere. Yes, water vapor is the “real culprit” making up 98% of all “greenhouse” gases. Yet despite rising CO2, along with no “statistically significant warming” there has been no measurable increase in world wide humidity over the past 17 years.
The warmist theory and all of the computer models used to “prove” it... have all been contradicted over and over. The only reason Obama is still pushing it is for political reasons and power. However, telling poor people in underdeveloped countries that they can't have automobiles and air conditioning is just sick!
And if they overpopulate the continent, it could tip over!
He is a certified idiot!
he isn't selfish or indifferent to their poverty, he just tryin' to save the planet
What an utter embarassment and ass.
How about you set the example there Barry? You give up your big car, your big house, and your air conditioning.
I know you aren't going to do that...and if you tried, I bet Michele would show who actually wears the pants in that family. After all, how would she take those European shopping extravaganzas on our dime?
“Has anyone ever pointed out to Obama that even the people caught up in the Climategate scandal admit that there has been no statistically significant warming for 17 years despite rising CO2 levels.?”
No doubt McCain will run to the first microphone he can find and agree with Obama’s statement. Can’t waste a chance to get his ugly mug on television.
My mind is rebelling at the willful stupidity of this pretender, and his Beard.
He defies description.
