Obama Warns Laos: If You Use Oil and Gas Like We Do, ‘We’re All Be Under Water’

‘The environment will not survive’

"What we now know is that the models of development that we saw in the West, using fossil fuels, are not going to be sustainable. We’re not going to be able to develop Laos the same way that we developed the United States. We’re going to have to have a new model. Because if all of the ASEAN countries and China and India all were using as much oil and gas and coal as the West did when it was developing, we’re all going to be underwater. The environment will not survive."
