"Obese people--those with a body mass index greater than 30--seem to use less energy in order to stay warm in cooler temperatures than their thinner counterparts, the study found".
Using less energy means, of course, equals emitting less CO2. Awesome!
Naturally, with gravity having increased its relentless pull on my over-50 physique, I'm all for supporting this research: Couch Potatoes For The Planet!
We need to make some T-shirts...okay, yeah, sweatshirts would probably make more sense.
But think of the marketing tie-ins. We could really magnify the Eco-Tard cognitive dissonance factor: Bacon Burgers For Babies, Eat Scrapple To Save The Big Apple--Bloomberg would shit himself over that one--this one too: Big Gulps For Gaia.
And then, of course, there's the whole protected-status jujitsu angle: Eco-Tards discriminate against the the Calorically Dependent! Bwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Ken Trenberth to announce he's discovered the "Missing Heat" in subcutaneous deposits in 3...2...1. Bwuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I'm thinking there's some major fun to be had here. Have at it guys.
