“The G-7 countries are meeting this week in Kananaskis in Alberta, Canada. This G-7 meeting will focus on geopolitical issues. While many disagreements currently prevail among the G-7 countries…”
The condescension of the “developed countries” of the G7 is criminal and reminiscent of the French “let them eat cake” and the Roman “bread and circuses”
Please explain to me why exactly that actual Africans are not capable of developing their own continent?
It has not changed in the lifetimes of my great grandparents, grand parents, parents, or mind. Why?
Exactly how is it anyone's fault but Africans for the lack of progress on one of the largest most resource rich and fertile continents on the planet? White people did not do this. White people tried to help and were rejected, and are now being slaughtered in South Africa. As South Africa devolves back into low IQ Black Savagery.
Thanks Stephen for an important post on fossil fuel use in Africa for mains power to save lives.
"Africans deserve real electricity." YES.
Except I would change the sentence to read: "Africans must be given the same opportunity as the West for real electricity that has saved countless lives".
We in the electrified West take for granted turning on a stove burner to cook our meals or the heater dial to warm our homes.
We must get more in the developed economies to recognize what a lack of affordable electricity means to the poor in Africa.
What it means is starkly simple: early death from preventable diseases attributable to no electricity.
This is a personally important moral issue for me as a five year ongoing financial and personal supporter of what started out as 45--and now is 39--Africans in Kenya and Nigeria to help keep them alive (a daily challenging task).
I have been against the Greenies since the mid-1970s when I began reading outside the Status/Statist Quo on environmentalism.
If you do not know Alex Epstein’s work on the necessity for fossil fuels (morally as well as economically), I highly recommend it, his most recent book:
Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas--Not Less
This book by Paul convincingly makes the moral case for fossil fuels and DDT, the “Excellent Powder”, in Africa.
The impoverished Africans desperately need fossil fuel electricity along with DDT to decrease the millions dying from malaria and respiratory diseases from having to use open fires indoors to cook.
The Excellent Powder: DDT's Political and Scientific History
Exposure to Wood Smoke and Associated Health Effects in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review
“Conclusion: There is high level of exposure to wood smoke in SSA and this exposure is associated with a number of adverse health effects. There is urgent need for aggressive programs to reduce wood smoke exposure in this population.”
The condescension of the “developed countries” of the G7 is criminal and reminiscent of the French “let them eat cake” and the Roman “bread and circuses”
These people are repugnant.
It’s anti-humanism, while pretending the opposite, Adrian
