Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has called out western countries for hypocrisy and failure to take responsibility in tackling climate change.
“Don’t tell Africa that the world cannot afford the climate cost of its hydrocarbons and then fire up coal stations whenever Europe feels an energy pinch. Don’t tell the poorest in the world that their marginal energy use will break the carbon budget only to sign off on new domestic permits for oil and gas exploration,” Mr Buhari said.
“Western development has unleashed climate catastrophe on my continent. Now, the rich countries’ green policies dictate that Africans should remain poor for the greater good. To compound the injustice, Africa’s hydrocarbons will be exploited after all, just not for Africans,” he noted.
The biggest hypocrite is the Nigeria Minister of Petroleum (Buhari ) that has allowed 700k P/D barrels of oil to be stolen under his watch. Failed to fix a single refinery and continued to embark on fraudulent fuel subsidies
Buhari is right on West being hypocrite. The rate of carbon emission from the industrialized West is far more than anywhere in the world, yet they handle the climate change by talking and not by much action.
Some African leader are still listening to them
What are the causes of climate change,? Scientific disorder, human nature, or something undefined, I think we should ask( comet)a creature that leaves in moon, 😀😃😄😁😆😅
Hmmmm, beggars have no choice. Do they?
Sai yanxu kasan Haka......
Very good thought from our president MBuhari there. Until Africa understand the hypocrisy the western nations over Africa's fate, then Africans will do better to develop its continent.
