Is environmentalist South Africa committing national suicide?

Question

Pretoria - 11 Feb 08- "South Africa is currently experiencing a national energy crisis," says a memo by engineer Will Alexander. "This is directly the result of the decision by the authorities to delay the construction of coal-fired power stations. We are now experiencing the consequences. A week before the crisis, the government announced that they would submit legislation to parliament to force greenhouse gas emitting industries to curtail their emissions.The energy crisis has already resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs. The prosperity of once booming South Africa has received a serious setback. ...Their world is about to collapse.” end quote

Elitist aid and pressure groups, making unilateral decisions, are forcing South Africa (and the rest of this impoverished continent) to have green strings on every project and every dime that we give them. If you think they should be able to feed themselves first, you’re a global warming denier. Sounds like the religion of a madman.

Answer 1

They're between a rock and a hard place.  If global warming hits, they won't be able to feed themselves either:

Their best shot is to join the world in fighting global warming, while negotiating food aid and aid to improve their agriculture.

We can fix this, but it's not going to be easy.

Answer 2

It's like Bob says...that's to be expected when combatting global warming.  That's why they've set up socialized welfare programs for entire nations...they'll send "aid" to these nations for intentionally stunting their own growth (they just have to bow to every whim imposed on them).  Turning entire nations into ghettos, one step at a time.  Sounds worst than Bush's brand of Democracy/Freedom.

Answer 3

yes  but we hope they keep up being green.

we have investments in gold and all they are doing is raising the price of gold,

just what the far left radicals that run  south Africa deserve.

this is what happen when a bunch of communist far left radicals take over a country.

it has happened before in Nicaragua Sudan Cuba Rhodesia.

THEY DESERVE WHAT THEY GOT.

THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IN THE US IF THE FAR LEFT RADICAL TREEHUGGERS WIN HERE.
