Are fat people really the cause of global warming?

According to an article in the UK’s Sun yesterday, scientists are blaming an increase in big-eaters for an increase in CO2 gases in our atmosphere.

Further compounding the problem, say the scientists, is that overweight people are more likely to drive.

The study by Dr Edwards and colleague Ian Roberts is published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

Dr Edwards went on: “We are not just pointing the finger at fat people. All populations are getting fatter and it has an impact on the environment.

Wow.
