Why do the climate cultists not want black people in Africa to have the same rise in living conditions from fossil fuels that privileged, white liberals have had in the 1st World?
A Canadian oil firm thinks it has struck big. Some fear it could ravage a climate change hotspot
Syringa trees rise out of the Kalahari sand in the wild expanse of Kavango East, as the humid heat warns of afternoon showers. It’s easy to imagine this place has looked the same for a hundred years.
Except, that is, for the road. Recently widened, graded and ramrod straight, new roads like this mean change is coming.
Carved out of the trees and surrounded by a chain-link fence, that change comes as a shock: a giant oil rig towers above these flat lands, dwarfing the trees.
In this northeastern corner of Namibia, on the borders of Angola and Botswana, a Canadian oil company called ReconAfrica has secured the rights to explore what it believes could be the next — and perhaps even the last — giant onshore oil find.
The find — potentially containing 12 billion barrels of oil — could be worth billions of dollars. And some experts believe the oil reserves here could be even bigger.
And the profits would enrich the people there. It would mean more electricity, better cooking and food conditions, better healthcare, and so much more. White Warmists aren’t happy
Unlike neighboring Angola, Namibia doesn’t have an oil industry of its own to speak of — so far. Yet it is already being hammered by the world’s dependency on fossil fuels.
“Southern Namibia already has twice the global rate of warming. In northern Namibia it is a staggering 3.6 degrees Celsius per century,” said Francois Engelbrecht, a professor at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, and a lead author on the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.
Strange how everywhere always seems to be twice the rate, eh?
But as the climate warms, those dry spells will become more frequent in the summer months, Engelbrecht said. The change in weather patterns and the corresponding increase in heat will create an even hotter and drier climate. It could destroy the way of life of the people who live here.
Uh huh. But, the fossil fuels probably will, since the money from them and the energy will enrich the nations and increase their welfare out of a 3rd world nation. Climate cultists hate when black people are able to not be living in un-powered huts cooking with dung.
Meanwhile, most of these rich, white, privileged liberals won’t give up their own use of fossil fuels.
Teach the stock value of all the big oil companies is dropping
Capitalists know that the future is electric
Chairman Xiden of the Amerikkkan Junta just gave us a tax break.

KKKye makes a funny.
Even funnier.
Bwaha! Lolgf
No puppy killer they will not “move” their ev plant to Mexico
They will in fact build a NEW facility in Me cinco because they forsee a future need that can’t be met by their current 4 factories
Learn to read to avoid future embarrassment
But thanks for reminding us how smart Obama was to loan that r0 billion to GM which insured their survival

Isn’t it “rice pudding Tuesday” at the nervous hospital, retard?
Bwaha! Lolgf
Remind us again of the African nations that have been enriched and modernized from their natural resources? Certainly Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Italy have benefited. The US built an entire Southern “culture” from African resources.
It’s been centuries of exploitation and conquest.
Still won’t explain why you hate America?
The government has not forced GM to convert to EVs, yet they are. They are taking a risk.
trumpublicuns fail to understand that America exists as part of a global economy.
No we don’t Elwood. You fail to realize that the world abdicated that to China, India, Pakistan and Mexico a long time ago.
Now the rest of the world are consumers for those five nations.
What is the most common theme coming out of the DNC? LEARN TO CODE?
A non productive job. This is akin to an 18th century farmer telling his wife to learn to cook. If she hasnt already done what is necessary for the family to survive, well then they probably havent survived.
I am 100 percent on board with electric cars. GOT zero problems with them given Tesla’s break success with batteries and the new solid state battery that promises a 700-1000 mile range on an electric car in the coming decade.
Everything about your post screams I just hate everyone at this site and anything they post I am going to degrade and piss them off because its fun.
In reality the rest of the world is not hell bent on electric cars. The rest of the world by the way does in fact include all of Africa, the middle east, Northern Asia or about 120 countries that could not afford an electric car if they wanted one, let alone switch their infrastructure to support battery powered ways of life.
“The government has not forced GM to convert to EVs, yet they are. They are taking a risk.”
No asshole, they’re taking a bribe. They will de subsidized hundreds of billions of dollars to “create demand”. It’s how fascists work. You should know, you are one.
If anything Elwood the right has not come around from 100 years of defending billionaires and Mega corporations while YOU defend them now. Elon Musk is arguably the richest man in the world on any given day. He and Jeff Bezos.
You defend them both. You defend George Soros who bought up all the coal stocks when they crashed and made his money manipulating the LITTLE guys money to get rich. Warren buffet and bill gates are your heros, even though they OWN railroads that move OIL TO MARKETS, because they spent 1 percent of their wealth appeasing you.
Zuckerberg gave 300 million dollars to democratic poll workers in 2020. Arguably the worst case of voter fraud in the entire election cycle. Lot of motivation when VOLUNTEERS ARE NOW PAID. BIGLY.
They talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
You defend Big Tech, The car companies. You are defending Big Pharma as they make trillions off a flu vaccine and the people scream were all going to die because it is mutating. I can promise you the drug manufacturers made a vaccine that only works for a year because it promises them to be rich beyond the Definition of Avarice for the next two generations.
The right(P O L I T I C I A N S) just has not come around yet to realizing how evil giant corporations have become. Evidence:Susan Collins the RINO from Maine saying OMG we are against a corporate tax hike. Once again defending the people who put her in power. She is not defending the base of the right which no longer supports corporations.
That is your job now Elwood. The enemy of my enemy right?
