Actually if you read the article ( the author is African), it isn’t their collective IQ’s that is the problem.
The relatively well off environmental activists in rich countries use exaggerated, imaginary or phony environmental concerns and fake disasters to justify laws, regulations and excuses not to let poor countries use fossil fuels or nuclear power or develop their economies.
They tell Africans that they should only use renewable energy. They say nuclear power is dangerous, and oil, gas and coal are dirty and cause dangerous climate change.
They don’t seem to think or care about the poverty, diseases and starvation that Africans suffer because they do not have fossil fuels.
And when they talk about renewable energy, they mean the very limited energy – and economic growth – that come from wind and solar power, or from growing crops for energy instead of to feed our hungry people. They even oppose hydroelectric power for poor nations.
They are rich and well fed, enjoying amazing homes and jobs and technologies in their modern countries. But they tell poor Africans (and other people) that they must limit our energy and dreams to whatever can come from expensive, insufficient kinds of energies to serve our large and growing populations. This is greedy and selfish, the kind of attitude of people who only think of themselves.
Even the “endangered” species are an environmental disaster caused by environmentalists. Starving people poach.

And if Africans listen to them, we are back to it being an IQ Problem. Why on God's green earth would anyone give a rat's @$$ what Greenie kooks think about anything?
Somehow I don't think the problem with Africa is that they are being held back by a lack of hydrocarbon fuels. England created a world wide Empire before oil became significant.
Why do they fall for the nonsense that the left and the environazis peddle? And why have they been incapable to make any significant advances?
It is IQ. The IQ distribution to be exact.
It is an utterly tragic situation. There are solutions, but most of them so politically unpalatable to be essentially impossible.
