Obese are climate change culprits too
Obesity contributes to global warming, or so says a study out of London. Researchers found that more fuel is required to transport obese people and the food they eat. The problem is that a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions stem from agriculture and cars. As the world population continues to swell, literally, the problem will only worsen. At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that by 2015, 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.
