Good grief. Everybody wants a piece of global warming hysteria. According to a big brain at Cancun, global warming goes hand-in-hand with obesity because—get this—we exercise less due to methods of modern transportation. From the story:
The world needs to go on a “fossil fuel diet” to stop both climate change and obesity, according to health experts. Professor Ian Roberts of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said there is a direct correlation between and carbon emissions and expanding waistlines. He said as soon as countries begin using cars and other energy intensive machines, it not only causes an increase in greenhouse gases but also in the population’s average weight, because people exercise less. He said that the health problem was another reason to tackle carbon emissions. “There is an almost linear relationship between carbon consumption and average BMI,” he said. “The world is getting hotter and the world is getting fatter. Fundamentally fossil fuel energy is the cause of both.
No, overeating is the primary cause of obesity. You can’t exercise your way out of gaining weight if you chow down to excess.
Besides, are we supposed to walk everywhere now—even though we may be thirty miles from our jobs? Can’t we please ride a horse?
