Obama: 'The Planet Will Boil Over' If Africans Are Allowed Cars and Air-Conditioning (Iraq, speech)

is this another Ostrich in the sand "don't tell me global warming exists" argument?

Why should the President of the United States be concerned with the energy used in African countries?

Is he world energy ruler or something too?

Let people in Africa decide what works for them. They are smart enough to figure it out.

Another example of the anti-choice left.

Translation: The US needs to transfer wealth and technology to third world nations. This is one of the fundamental parts of the agreement for these carbon treaties. These nations want money and tech if they are to mitigate carbon emissions

Would this be similar to Guam tipping over?

Africans have their own sovereign states, nobody "allows" them to do anything.

And Obama did not say " if we allow ......."

[v1cious]

Africans don't have cars and air-conditioning? That's fascinating. Do they still live in huts as well?

Typical liberal/progressive/democrat.

What Obama said and what the title said he said are not the same thing.

Why waste a moment listening to the video when the title alone confirms your own politics, eh?

The mindset of CNS News is what's astonishing.

CNS was originally Conservative News Service and renamed to Cybercast News. It is owned by Media Research Center who seems to believe other news is too liberal. No surprise that they edit and headline to attract the " Right" audience.

Look at their party. It's basically run by rich, white men. Same as their donors.

No different than the Republican Party.

Catch what? That the title of your thread is a lie? And that an 'echo chamber' poster focused on the one word in that title that was the biggest lie?
