Go On A Diet: Fatties Cause Global Warming
Hey you, yes you, go on a diet! The Global Warming Gestapo says you are causing global warming, or at least influencing it significantly:
Scientists warned that the increase in big-eaters means more food production — a major cause of CO2 gas emissions warming the planet.
Overweight people are also more likely to drive, adding to environmental damage…
It means an extra BILLION TONNES of CO2 a year is created, according to World Health Organisation estimates of overweight people.
The scientists say providing extra grub for them to guzzle adds to carbon emissions that heat up the world, melting polar ice caps, raising sea levels and killing rain forests.
The environmental impact of fat humans is made even worse because they are more likely to travel by car — another major cause of carbon emissions.
To make matters even worse, the world population is getting fattier by the day. The situation has become so bad in the United States, that 40% of Americans are obese. Note that obese is not merely “overweight.” It is “overweight” plus 50 pounds, basically.
Considering the passion and intolerance of the Global Warming Gestapo, I fear our fatty fellow citizens are in major trouble. Forced diets. No McDonalds for them anymore.
