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.

I'm sure the majority of them would be satisfied with 3 squares a day and maybe some running water......

What an ass. I cannot even begin to elucidate.

So they really DO want everyone to be in the Stone Age.

Yeah, all they need for that to happen is for those bad old white people to "allow them to attain" those kind of luxuries, what a laugh.

Black Africa's only hope to bring their people out of the stone age is re-colonization, which will probably be by China and Russia.

"grass huts"

Which is what the warmists would like to happen to everybody. Everybody would have to live in a grass hut or a tiny box in a huge apartment of a big city. No cars or other motor vehicles. Except for them of course. They need their huge mansions and fleets of cars and jets to tell the people of the world how to live their lives.

Everything Obama says is a lie or is wrong or both. I consider myself a real environmentalist. I recycle. I am concerned about dirty water and air. I don't my family to get sick and die. This global warming crap is a research funding and tax scam.

How much raw materials and energy reserves are they sitting on?

I have worked with some African engineers and other professionals that have openly stated that the tribal mentality is exactly what is holding back Africa.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.

3. The earth is a rock.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“And as a show of solidarity with the third world, Michelle and i have decided to sell our big house in Chicago, give up our lavish vacations, and just stay in Washington and work.”

Bush saves Africans - so obviously he is a racist. Obama condemns them to misery and poverty - so obviously he is the post racial ubermensch.

“Can he be any more ignorant and stupid?”

My lawyer Dad (RIP) taught me these things to remember:
1. Don’t ask a question to which you don’t already know the answer

2. Don’t ask a question to which you don’t want to know the answer.

just sayin’... ;)
