According to Ian Roberts, a professor of public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, there is a clear link between the obesity epidemic sweeping the world and the rise of global warming. Mr. Roberts believes that fat people are the primary reason why the earth is in the sad shape it's in today and feels that the public should take action or resign themselves to the fact that we're doomed.

In the last few years, many so called experts have taken turns "educating" us about the environment and what's causing global warming. Skeptics claim that climate change is normal and that there's no such thing as global warming caused by humans. They claim that humans couldn't possibly effect the environment in any meaningful way and that the people who are hyping the global warming epidemic have a vested interest in "green schemes" such as carbon offsetting programs.

On the other side of the fence, people such as Al Gore have predicted disaster for planet Earth and have blamed everything from corporations to corrupt governments, claiming that they are profiting from global warming while the rest of us await grim death caused by floods and heat waves.

Ian Roberts's recent article debunks both camps while shedding some light on the real culprits who are causing global warming - fat people. Robert's startling revelations reveal who our real enemies are and shockingly, it's not the Russians.

Roberts's indicates that, "...obesity is most prevalent in the U.S... it is becoming clear that obese people are having a direct impact on the climate. One reason is that the the extra food that obese people eat - about 40 per cent more in terms of calories than their lean counterparts. Since food production accounts for over 20 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions - more than transport or industry - an obese population leaves a significantly heavier carbon footprint than a thin one."

The article points out several other ways of how fat people are directly destroying planet Earth. The findings are startling and grim. They're startling because we all thought fat people were jolly instead of sinister and conniving. The facts are grim because it seems there's not much we can do to stop them unless we declare war on fat people around the world.

The fat people are also more organized than we thought. Roberts points out that, "The American Obesity Association is dedicated to 'changing public policy and perceptions about obesity'." Who knew that a pro fat organization even existed? How did this group of huge people keep off our radar for so long?

Roberts doesn't appear to believe that we should declare war on fat people and remove them from our planet by force just yet. However, he is in favour of psychological warfare. "The social stigma attached to obesity is one of the few forces slowing the epidemic - even though obesity is not a personal failing but a problem of society.", says Roberts.

Perhaps the most effective way of combating obesity is to have governments around the world make commercials that denounce fat people, especially organizations who promote obesity and all things round. If this doesn't work we must take drastic measures.

It's interesting that Al "Mr. Know it all" Gore didn't mention the impact fat people are having on global warming in his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Could it be because Al Gore is fat? One must wonder whether Al Gore is affiliated with The American Obesity Association and if he's secretly plotting to destroy the Earth by diverting attention away from the real problem - fat people. Confuse and obfuscate is the modus operandi of many politicians.

While it's clear that fat people are the primary cause of global warming, it's evident that some fat people are more to blame than other fat people. Al Gore has deceived us for years. It goes to show that you can never trust a democrat, especially a fat one.
