Letter: Climate change blamed for poor

Our new world order President Obama and United Nations say climate change is the reason there are poor in the world. That is dead wrong; the reason for the poor is because the poor countries do not have cheap energy or no energy at all.

Climate change is all about keeping people poor so that they have to depend on the government or dictators. If these poor had cheap energy like coal they could for example refrigerate food or grow their own food.

I know a missionary to Africa and she said the only power in community was a battery so of coarse there was no way they could farm or refrigerate food.

If you want to solve poverty in the world you-do-gooders need to give them cheap energy coal or oil.
