OBESITY CONTRIBUTES TO GLOBAL WARMING: GORE HAS NO PLANS TO DIET

I can just see Al Gore now. "Hmmm...Second helping of Tipper's cherry cheesecake, or the future of the planet?...Boy...that's a tough one"

Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.

This adds to food shortages and higher energy prices, the school's researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday.

The researchers found that obese people require 1,680 daily calories to sustain normal energy and another 1,280 calories to maintain daily activities, 18 percent more than someone with a stable BMI.

No mention of Gore's BMI. But the data can't be good.
