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 presidents 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 Presidents 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.

Kenneth Minogue writing in National Review, Nov. 18, 1991:
An ideological movement is a collection of people many of whom could hardly bake a cake, fix a car, sustain a friendship or a marriage, or even do a quadratic equation, yet they believe they know how to rule the world. The university, in which it is possible to combine theoretical pretension with comprehensive ineptitude, has become the natural habitat of the ideological enthusiast. A kind of adventure playground, carefully insulated from reality in order to prevent absent-minded professors from bumping into things as they explore transcendental realms, has become the institutional base for civilizational self-hatred.
People of Africa, stay in your quaint shanty towns. Follow the example of my brother.
Sub driver .... and the point of your post is????????
What an arrogant SOB he is!!! It is bad enough what he is doing to the USA let alone go to another Country and dictate how he feels they should live. South Africa should have stopped his speech, escorted him and his minions to the airport and tell them they have 15 minutes to get out of South African airspace.
I am currently reading a great book: "The Really Inconvenient Truths" by Ian Murray.
The book discusses 7 real environmental disasters that were caused by liberal policies such as the ban on DDT, etc. But one of the best things is in the book, he points readers to the documentary (which you can watch for free in its entirety on YouTube):
"The Great Global Warming Swindle"
In it, they discuss the concept of energy usage in undeveloped countries (at about 1 hour and six minutes into it) with a physician in Kenya (the irony).
They discuss the burden that lack of energy places on the poor which we in the West have place on them SO THEY CANNOT DEVELOP AND USE ENERGY. Sure, they could do it on their own, but we have made them so dependent on foreign aid, that we tie strings to that aid and deliberately hold them back. IT IS SHAMEFUL. (again, watch the segment at 1:06 in, which DIRECTLY relates to the subject of this thread.
This doctor says "If you ask poor people here to define development, it means when they get electricity. The lack of electricity creates such a long chain of effects...they cannot have pumps to pipe water so they have to walk to get it. They cannot stay awake after the sun goes down. They cannot store food in fridges, so they have a high incidence of food-borne diseases. They cannot have an electric stove, so they have to burn dung and green wood which takes hours of labor to get, then causes huge incidences of respiratory diseases and asthma (four million children die each year in the developed world due to respiratory diseases that could be alleviated if we gave them access to electricity like the West. NEXT TIME A BRAIN DEAD LIBERAL MOONBAT BRINGS UP THE CASUALTY COUNT IN IRAQ AND SAYS "NO BLOOD FOR OIL" BE SURE TO BRING THIS UP!.
At the rural, primitive clinic the doctor practices at, they have one light, and one small refrigerator. They can only run ONE of them at a time, not both. The reason is, they were given aid, and to get the aid at all, it had to be either wind or solar. They could not use the aid to buy a generator! That was the "STRING" attached by the western leftist government and aid personnel.
The doctor asks, and rightfully so: "How many people in the US and Europe use this type of energy (solar and wind), and how cheap is it? If it is expensive for the Americans...if it is expensive for the Europeans, and we are talking about poor Africans...you know, it doesn't make sense. These countries can afford to engage in some luxurious experimentation with these other forms of energy, but for use, we are still at a stage of survival..."
I was ashamed to watch that. The hypocrisy. It makes me SICK to my stomach.
They must love listening to him, his advice on gays civil rights too.
He is describing liberals.
On a more sarcastic level, it is the same as: “Kennedys: Can’t drive a car. Can’t sail a boat. Can’t ski. Can’t fly a plane. But they are gonna tell all of us how to do it.”
This planet's...gotta fever.
Next, he will tell them they can’t have coal or wood, only GE windmills. And no pesticides for malaria prevention.
He goes to Africa and tell’s them to be gay,don’t drive cars and not to have air conditioning.:)

“He goes to Africa and tells them to be gay,dont drive cars and not to have air conditioning.:)”
African comedians are going to have a field day with this jive turkey!
:)
Good now, at least he can’t say a white man said that.
All this because the country of his birth snubbed what he believes about homosexuality?
i’m thinking he doesn’t care about that.
what he believes is totally irrelevant. whether he is gay or not, his support of gay marriage is simply to capture that voting block. just like any other liberal, they have no values, other than the value that something has to win a vote.
And how many jets did he fly in there? How many transports with how many helicopters and how many automobiles for him and his entourage to trapes around in? What a horses pa tute.
Sweet song.
Welcome King Hussain "Canute" Obama the Great.....
...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...
....to increase it's magnetic field....
and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

I hope they told him where he can go.
