It seems obese and overweight people contribute and do damage just as gas emissions do.

The researchers stated that there are now at least 400 million obese adults around the world.

The World Health Organization predicts that by 2015, there will be 700 million obese, with 2.3 billion overweight.

The researchers have found that obese people eat more calories compared to people of normal weight.

This means they cause more fuel to be used to transport the food they eat, and the lifestyle they have to sustain.

Since people of normal weight eat less, they are also more likely to walk rather than drive a car somewhere.

This also leads to obese people using more fuel and doing more damage to the world as a whole.

The belief is that by beating obesity, you will also be beating global warming.
