Now that the global warming hoax has caused science to be subsumed by hard left politics, anything is possible. The latest revelation from the liberal government/media/academia establishment: being overweight causes climatic catastrophes:
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.
Dr Phil Edwards, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "Moving about in a heavy body is like driving in a gas guzzler."
Each fat person is said to be responsible for emitting a tonne more of climate-warming carbon dioxide per year than a thin one.
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.
Just look what those awful fat people are inflicting on the rest of us:
Oxfam warned yesterday that the number of people hit by climate-related disasters will soar by more than half in the next six years to 375 million.
Every totalitarian movement needs a group it can focus hatred on, to whip the herd into a stampede by igniting its basest instincts. Hitler had Jews, Stalin had "rich peasants." If unhinged environazis become any more powerful, being overweight could turn out to be far more unhealthy than anyone expected.
ok, can we now round up Micheal Moore and send him to the camps?
Joggers burn more calories and expel more carbon dioxide than couch potatoes.
“Moving about in a heavy body is like driving in a gas guzzler.”
As Curly Howard of The Stooges would say, “I resemble that remark.”
I’ll admit that this caught me by surprise. I thought they’d be going after the elderly first. (not sarcasm)
Wow! I never knew how powerful I am. I CAN CHANGE THE EARTH. Call me “Goddess” please. /sarc

Naw...the elderly come later. They’ll be put in the back of the Health Care Line behind the 23 year old pregnant illegals.
I think we should have a list then of fat people beginning with the government on down. hollywood too...not the mag photos that are air brushed and “thinned down”...let’s see some REAL PHOTOS. Then we can see who’s contributing to this so called theory.
The libtards in charge haven't yet figured out how to exempt themselves (most of em came of age during the Summer of Love).
Then they came for the elderly...but I was sorta young, so I didn't fret.
Then they came for the flatulent...holy sh!t, I gotta get outta town.
I love carbon gases, coming from my big diesel truck, from cows and from me. It’s a blast.
Whatever group, attribute, or behavior is annoying to the left,
they’ll find a way to control or sanction it,
always under the guise of the “collective good”.
I’m doing my part too. Wonder if we’ll have to buy fat-offsets? George Orwell never envisioned this world.
In the meantime...I salute them with BBQ in hand!
Teddy Kennedy? Barney Frank? Barbara Mikulski?
Bob Beckel? Al Gore? Keith Olbermann?
AAAARRRGH! You just made me lose some of my mass! Now I have to eat more _______.
Grrr-ralph-ohno.
