Professor Ian Roberts of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said there is a direct correlation between and carbon emissions and expanding waistlines. ....
“There is an almost linear relationship between carbon consumption and average BMI,” he said.
“The world is getting hotter and the world is getting fatter. Fundamentally fossil fuel energy is the cause of both.
“The world needs to go on a fossil fuel-controlled diet even if climate change is a hoax – which I do not think it is – the world would still have to go on a fossil fuel controlled diet otherwise our healthy systems will just break down, we will not be able to deal with the growth in obesity.
“The decarbonisation of the transport and greener lifestyles are going to be good for health as well as being good for the planet.”

Liberals feel miserable so they want to force their misery on the rest of us. So it is with the climate change scam.
Carbon control legislation is the pixie dust in liberals dreams.

Let’s get the professor’s salary on a diet - let’s say a 100% cut - and global warming pronouncements will end.
Gee, if this half-baked theory is what “scientists” do these days, I think I can be a scientist too. Let me try:
The colder the climate, the more likely people are to pack on fat to keep warm and have an extra store of energy since food is scarce. Thus, Global Warming will decrease obesity.
Wow. They are openly talking about causing food shortages.
I think it is past time now for the balloon to go up.
Neo-Malthusianians. They just hate mankind.
Some lucky leftist can pick up Kaczynski's remote 1.4 acre property for $69,500. The only signs of civilization are jets flying overhead on their way to vacations and business deals. It's just enough to make a leftist go crazy with murderous envy.
Their is a direct relationship between liberalism and mental disorder.
Notice that they feel the need to hedge their bets now.
Remember that population reduction and control are at the heart of this. The “liberals” (sheeperals) think they’re on the side of the angels for “saving the planet”,
but they’re just the willing dupes of the Luciferian humanity hating movement.
Even Algore, he of the expanded waistline, is not claiming climate change causes obesity!
Actually, leftists want EVERYONE ELSE to live in a shack with no power or heat,
or better yet, clumped into very dense apartment buildings in cities where you “can” walk to get your food or go to your job.
His obesity is caused by the non-release of his second chakra.
All the better to control you and dole out what they believe you need. "Thank you kindly sir, may I have another?"
Hedging their bets indeed. I find it hopeful that 1) they now feel the need to address the fact that more people every day are understanding that the AGW hoax is BS with an evil purpose and 2) they are forced to resort to such absolutely lunatic attempts to restart their faltering engine.
Did Ian Roberts and his buddies walk to Cancun?
Hilarious stuff. If I´ve ever seen the abuse of a correlational argument, this is it (And correlation abuse is rife in so many areas).
About obesity, these are some of my favorite takes:

Now that’s funny!
