Obama: 'Planet will boil over' if Africans have air conditioning, cars - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com

While speaking at a town hall event in Johannesburg, South Africa, President Obama said the planet would boil if people in Africa were allowed to have air conditioning, cars and big houses, CNS News reported Monday.

“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,” he said.
