How eco-colonialism affects sub-Saharan Africa

Here's a cause and effect that the True Believers everywhere don't want you to think about: Eco-colonialism in sub-Saharan Africa is one of the greatest tragedies resulting from the "scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming" nonsense.

Noteworthy:

"Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of Earth’s most impoverished regions. Over
90% of its people still lack electricity, running water, proper sanitation and
decent housing. Malaria, malnutrition, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and
intestinal diseases kill millions every year. Life expectancy is appalling, and
falling.

And yet UN officials, European politicians,
environmentalist groups and even African authorities
insist that global warming is the gravest threat facing the
continent. They claim there is no longer any debate over
human-caused global warming – but ignore thousands of
scientists who say human CO2 emissions are not the
primary cause of climate changes, there is no evidence
that future warming will be catastrophic, and computer
models do not provide valid projections or “scenarios” for
the future.

Warming alarmists use the “specter of climate change” to
justify inhumane policies and shift the blame for problems that could be solved
with the very technologies they oppose.

Past colonialism sought to develop mining, forestry and agriculture, and bring
better government and healthcare practices to Africa. Eco-colonialism keeps
Africans “traditional” and “indigenous,” by insisting that modern technologies
are harmful and not “sustainable” in Africa.

Abundant, reliable, affordable electricity could power homes, offices, factories,
schools and hospitals, create jobs, bring clean running water, and generate health
and prosperity. But Rainforest Action Network and other pressure groups oppose
coal and natural gas electricity generation on the grounds of climate change, and
hydroelectric and nuclear power for other ideological reasons. They promote
wind turbines and solar panels that provide electricity unreliably and in amounts
too small to meet any but the most rudimentary needs.

Biotechnology could produce bumper crops that overcome droughts, floods,
insects, viruses, and even global warming and cooling. But Greenpeace and Sierra
Club oppose this precision hybrid-making technology, and instead promote land
and labor-intensive subsistence farming.

DDT and insecticides could slash malaria rates that Al Gore and other climate
alarmists falsely claim are rising because of global warming. But Pesticide Action
Network and other activists stridently oppose their use, and the European
Parliament recently imposed new pesticide restrictions that will further restrict
African access to life-saving chemicals."

...and:

"So this is where radical climate change alarmism has taken us.When the health
of Planet Earth is at stake, human life means little – even if the 'disasters' are
nothing more than worst-case scenarios conjured up by computer models,
headline writers, Hollywood, and professional doomsayers like Gore, Hansen and
NOAA alarmist-in-chief Susan Solomon.

'Every time someone dies as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an airline executive
should be dragged out of his office and drowned,' British arch-environmentalist
George Monbiot lectured readers of The Guardian, in a typically hysteria-laced
column.

One has to wonder if he would apply the same standard to eco-colonialist executives who continue to perpetuate poverty, disease, malnutrition and death in the name of preventing 'global warming disasters' that fewer and fewer respectable scientists still believe are caused by human greenhouse gas
emissions.

It’s time to address Africa’s real problems and replace lethal eco-colonialism with fact-based science and humane public policies."
