Since I am in the science realm of things- I had to comment on this one.
A recent article in the LA Times cited that scientists Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts believe that obesity is a direct cause of global warming because more food must be shipped to these people who eat more. I see a lot of fallacies with this arguement, and I want to see the report in it's entirety; and I cannot find it online.
Obesity is a condition where a person eats too much and gains a BMI (Body Mass Index) that is too high. It's counterpart in the metabolism crisis are those who can eat 3000 calories a day and not gain a single pound or will not need to exercise. What about those people contributing to global warming?
I don't think it is very fair, let alone accurate to put the blame of global warming on a certain group of individuals when we are all more or less equal factors in contributions to global warming. We all can make a difference to curb it, too. We were put on this Earth to take care of the garden (take care of the planet), so we need to start doing it. Until I see that report to reach my best conclusions, I am going to have to side with Yale and throw caution out there- I won't give any credit or recognition to this finding.
We need to focus on Hydrogen fuel cells and gas emissions to get back to pre-1970s level emissions. Global Warming, I believe is not as serious as it has been proposed to be- in that temperatures have not changed much since 1998. I should do a post on Hydrogen fuel cells these days.....
