High rates of obesity in richer countries cause up to 1bn extra tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year, compared with countries with leaner populations, according to a study that assesses the additional food and fuel requirements of the overweight. The finding is particularly worrying, scientists say, because obesity is on the rise in many rich nations.
"Population fatness has an environmental impact," said Phil Edwards, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "We're all being told to stay fit and keep our weight down because it's good for our health. The important thing is that staying slim is good for your health and for the health of the planet."

I'm certain cause and effect is well understood by authorities upon such matters, so I can only conclude that fat people must be taxed by the ton as well as banning any associate gas emissions from fat people, in order to ameliorate this climate disaster. If we don't, the oceans will rise and we're all going to die.
The United States is the most Obese Nation in the world.
Black people are the Fattest race in America.

More women are fat then men.
Fat Black Women are major contributors to killing polar bears and destroying the planet.
Black Women vote 95% democrat.
Therefor: Democrats who truly believe in Global warming need to organize and protest against Fat Black Women!

OK
Fat chance of that ever happening.
Maybe we could just fit methane recapture devices to every person over a certain BMI and require them to walk to the nearest collection center.
Even if true, there’s already 3,000+ gigatonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere, so 1 more is pretty irrelevant.

It must be Regulate Fatties Week, courtesy of the nanny state.
Nanny State PING!
bu...bu...but does that just mean tailpipe emissions; or did he include all the energy used to produce the gasoline; the methane released by drilling and refining; the asbestos dust for using the brakes; the pollution associated with the tires production, use, and recycling; the (prorated) additional emissions associated police, fire, ambulance, recovery/towing, repair, recycling, and hospital services associated with auto accidents...not to mention all the additional pollution inputs for the necessary traffic policing, courts, and lawyers involved after an infraction/accident; plus all the extra pollution the "extra" (not needed if people walked instead of drove) traffic cops, firefighters, ambulance personnel, and other emergency & repair shop workers generate getting to and from their jobs, ... parking lot paving and painting, road construction and maintenance, ... etc., etc., etc.!
Time for these freakazoids by curl up and die to set a real example on to save Mankind and the planet!
Thanks for the ping!
