Overweight People Have Larger Carbon Footprints

Postby LelandAcker on 2009 Apr 21 Tue 5:29 am

In a study conducted by the London School of Hygene concluded that overweight people eat more than physically fit people, and have higher carbon footprints because they are more likely to drive somewhere than someone who is fit, therefore they have higher carbon footprints. (Don't worry about the carbon produced by the fit person using a treadmill or elyptical, that's a whole other issue.) The study concluded that you should stay physically fit to save the planet from global warming.

I am a conservationalist. I believe in protecting the wetlands, keeping the air and water clean, and so on. But global warming is a myth. Al Gore is right, the debate is over... but NBC news doesn't have the heart to tell him he lost. Having debated on the college debate circuit against the likes of Rice University, Vanderbilt University, University of Houston (lost to all three) and Texas A&M (which I won), I can tell you that any college debater on the top ranks who pulls out a carbon emissions case is dead in the water for one reason... the oceans emit more carbon than man can even dream of. If global warming exists, it isn't man made. A global warming case doesn't win on that level... so why is it accepted as truth in the mainstream media and in our government? I can tell you... control.

They'll use global warminig to control not only which car you drive, but how you set your a/c, and even what and how much you can eat. It's not about the planet, it's about control.

Yes. Some people choose to believe the myths that make them feel good. Other people promote the myths that put them in control.
