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.
According to UNESCO, unsanitized water causes billions of preventable diseases annually, from diarrhea (4 billion), cholera (120,000), malaria (300-500 million), intestinal parasites (25% of world’s population), typhoid (12 million), trachoma (6 million), and schistosomiesis (200 million). list from highest to least affected
The president gave short shrift to these more traditional health concerns during his visit to the continent. Instead, Obama implied several times that the U.S. would only encourage growth in Africa should it be grounded in “clean energy strategies” and not in “corrupting” energy economies that gave rise to unprecedented levels of health and prosperity among Western nations.
Speaking on the future of U.S. aid to Africa, the president said that it was his goal “to see if we can leapfrog some of the polluting practices of America or Europe, and go straight to the clean energy strategies that will allow you to advance economic growth, but not corrupt the planet.”
The crux of the president’s new energy strategy is a $7 billion investment that Obama hopes will stimulate the alternative energy sector in Africa – much like the president sought to do with huge domestic investments in green energy companies like Solyndra.
“In partnership with African nations, we’re going to develop new sources of energy. We’ll reach more households – not just in cities, but in villages and on farms. We’ll expand access for those who live currently off the power grid. And we’ll support clean energy to protect our planet and combat climate change,” President Obama said Sunday at the University of Cape Town.

This disgusting Kenyan piece of garbage would rather people stay in abject poverty than better their lives for some fantasy green energy bs that will never happen.

How about O-TWINK for live in a hut in the sweltering heat instead?
Can we just leave him in Africa where he belongs?

So no Obama-air conditioning to go with the phones?

Nope - remember - Obama has a brother in a mud hut in Africa, two relatives on Mass. Welfare system etc - this is perfectly normal for a 3rd world slum ghetto piece of garbage like Obama

Obama tells Africans that contaminated water is a smaller problem than global warming
While speaking in Johannesburg, South Africa, President Obama said that global warming was “the biggest challenge we have environmentally” and that it was worse than “dirty water, dirty air.”
However, according to the World Health Organization, while global warming kills 140,000 people each year, air pollution kills 3 million people per year.
According to UNESCO, each year, contaminated water causes 4 billion cases of diarrhea, 120,000 cases of cholera, 300 million cases of malaria, 12 million cases of typhoid, 6 million cases of trachoma, 200 million cases of schistosomiesis, and more than 1 billion incidents of intestinal parasites.
You know what’s worse than global warming? How about living your entire life without ever having access to a toilet?
The World Health Organization says that dirty water is “the leading cause of disease and death around the world.”
That Obama would downplay these problems shows how scientifically illiterate he is.
That he would do so while giving a speech in Africa, which has the highest rate of water borne illness of any continent, shows how thoughtless and insensitive he is.

Obama the Witch Doctor.

As smart as this guy but hey, you voted for it..

Some of them may even use indoor plumbing and deodorant one day. Then the planet is really screwed. ::)
I cannot for the life of me comprehend how black people do not detest Obama.

That's not, necessarily, an inaccurate statement. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but not necessarily inaccurate. Our current viable energy production means (with the exception of nuclear, which has its own set of problems but which can be solved if we have smart people working on them instead of on silly government subsidized research about toilet seats and ethanol) generate a whole load of pollution and side effects. Climate change aside, we do need to work towards more efficient and cleaner energy production if we hope to sustain (let alone accelerate) our growth, here and abroad.

Oh for fucks sake you lying fucking mouthpiece. You vomit page after page of lies and distort everything that doesn't fit with your worldview. I've had enough of you and your ilk and your cousins on the other side of the aisle.
You people and the bile and invective you spew have hyper-polarized this country and have resulted in the continued degradation of the American political process.
You people and the bile and invective you spew have given us politicos like Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the other scum that's in office, who do nothing but pander to more and more extreme positions and whip you up into a frenzy, because an angry electorate translates to job security for them.
You people and the bile and invective you spew have managed to turn one American against another and see those who disagree with you politically as subhumans who are standing in the way of progress - for your definition of progress.
I have had enough of you - regardless of your political positions and your particular political beliefs.
So if you belong in that group of people, you know what? FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU AND THE PENIS YOU RODE IN ON YOU MOTHERFUCKING PIECES OF SHIT THAT HAVE MANAGED TO TURN THE UNITED STATES INTO A CLUSTERFUCK.
And now for the obligatory Tsar Bomba image:

STFU moron - Green Energy is a scam. A scam yesterday - a scam today - a scam tomorrow.
Obama's statements are perfectly clear - he rather these people in abject misery than god forbid a little more CO2 go in the air, which in itself is still not proven to be detrimental to anything.

I said nothing about green energy asshole. I said that we must improve the efficiency of our energy production and move to energy that reduces the pollution we generate (such as nuclear energy production). I said nothing about living off windmills and solar farms and singing Kumbaya while wearing Birkenstocks.
So don't mouth off to me you unintelligent piece of shit because I'll slap you down so hard, you'll think you're a 1L again.

Obama's statement was stupid - but that's nothing new from Obama. But it didn't convey the meaning you ascribed to it. In a fashion typical of your curious profession, you took a stupid statement, twisted it and presented it as something entirely different. You know what that makes you? It makes you a lying piece of shit.
And you know what? If you lie and distort then, then I will call you out on it. I will call you a liar and challenge you. Of course, you have the advantage of, apparently, being employed to post shit on the getbig politics board, while I actually have a job and a life. But I will still challenge you.

Oh bullshit - the logical import of Obama's statements are perfectly clear and are in line with many others this piece of shit has spewed regarding people and their cars, thermostat, suv, energy bills, homes, etc.
Obama cares first and foremost about "climate change" which is pure bs rather than these impoverished people having a better standard of life.
