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.
