"Then they came for overweight people..."

Obesity causes global warming, say scientists

"Being overweight is bad for the environment as well as your health, according to a study released today. Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that overweight people were likely to be more responsible for carbon emissions than slim people because they consume more food and fuel.

The study blamed an increased demand for livestock production for meat, believed to be responsible for 20 per cent of all greenhouse gases due to the toxic methane emitted by cows. They added that a higher dependency on cars was also a contributing factor. The authors, Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts, said: ‘When it comes to food consumption, moving about in a heavy body is like driving around in a gas guzzler."

More glaring proof that most global warming is caused by the hot air that comes out of the Establishment's puppets.
