WASHINGTON (AP) — Global warming in the United States is amping up the country’s sweet tooth, a new study found.
When the temperature rises, Americans — especially those with less money and education — drink lots more sugary beverages and a bit more frozen desserts. It amounts to more than 100 million pounds of added sugar (358 million kilograms) consumed in a year, compared to 15 years earlier, according to a team of researchers in the U.S. and United Kingdom writing in Monday’s Nature Climate Change.

In other news rich leftists keep buying more coastal property as the oceans rise.
Lol.
It’s not GW. It Walmart. They’re selling tons of sugary Mexican coke made in Mexico.
Indeed this story is a pant-load.
Quick Google search says population of USA was 309 million in 2010 and 340 million today.
So I wonder just how much of that ADDITIONAL 100 million pounds of sugar can be DIRECTLY attributed to the extra 30 million people????
does sugary drink include juice....cuz they give it to the school kids across the nation..when they should be getting whole milk. Go back to the typical diet of the 40s and 50s.
It’s called “intersectionality”. The Dims dream up ways to explain why their various causes are tied together. In this case it’s telling the people who like to say they fight obesity to also help their doomsday Warmageddon cult. Otherwise the leftists will be less likely to operate less like one cohesive party.
Good lord, eating sugar has nothing to do with the weather. People are just too stupid to steam broccoli and would rather eat cookies.
Typical journalistic idiocy.
Correlation does not equal causation.
Then again, perhaps we have something here ... Global warming is causing ever larger numbers of journalists to be lazy, ignorant hacks.
It’s called WATER. The only think that cures thirst. Drink it. Geez.
Nothing the healthy Covid vax’s couldn’t fix that us uneducated Neanderthal’s refused to take. Pardon me while I take a sip of my iced sweet tea.
Well, since we took most of the junk foods and soda off of the SNAP it should be reduced a whole lot now.
When a report cites a study, our BS meter should be pinging loud.

When temperatures rise, people grill more outside, so they eat more meat, so they are happier and healthier.
They go skinny dipping more, so they make more babies.
They wash their cool cars more, so they last longer.
Their kids play in the sunshine more, so they are happier and healthier.
I like my world much better.
Coldest August in the state of Virginia since records have been kept.
And that is in spite of the weather CHEAT.
Yes folks; our government more precisely (our) woke giverment employees cheat and lie a lot.
You name it; crime rates, employment, presidents and their competence, Elections, citizenship, weather stats, illegal alien importation.
Yes there is a cheat and it always goes against our consensus and helps an agenda.
In fact wheather adjusted up or later adjusted down or just a straight faced lie that has been a still continues to be our government .
Thank God for President Trump and his team, finally a government that we the people can depend on.
Now to drain the swamp, fire everyone starting with that woke dmv in vienna va flying our flag upside down, damn just damn.
Little red lying hood is their poster girl
Or illegals from Mexico/South America chug soda like it’s water.
You go to a non tourist area in SA and there is zero water available or even diet drinks. 100% sugar all day.
If the world warms due to human intervention then look to China and India not the USA
It’s 45 here right now.
With all the Co2 in the air, plants are having great time!
According to hundreds of studies, plants need about ~800 ppm of Co2 in the air for optimal growth. This is about double of present day concentration, but it was a normal Co2 concentration few million years ago, and for most of last half a billion years.
We are still living in the epoch of extremally LOW CO2 concentration!
So, sugar cane, corn and sugar beet yields are breaking records and we have lots of sugar and corn syrup available!
Let’s go and have a Coke, with cane sugar preferably!

Then sugar intake would naturally be much higher in the summer than in the winter. Except it isn’t. Sugar intake would be higher in Florida than in Vermont, except it isn’t. Ridiculous garbage. Sugar intake would be higher in the daytime than at night. Except it isn’t.
