I would not have believed the claim if I hadn’t read it here:
So the idea is that everybody should lose ten kilos the result of which would be a drop in greenhouse emissions that would be the equivalent of 0.2% of the CO(2) emitted globally in 2007 (49.560Mt).
Good luck pulling that off. I have a proposal that may also have an impact.
Any researcher who takes public money to study global warming and produce results that dictate how the rest of us should live should give up their car and walk or bicycle everywhere.
That should have an effect.

Robert Gordon University is in Aberdeen and is a good University.
I’ve always thought the cheapest and easiest way to solve the AGW problem…ahem…is to offer tax breaks to people who hold their breath for two or three minutes a day.
You could argue that it is everyone’s civic duty to hold their breath for one minute in the morning and one minute in the afternoon. Enthusiastic breath holders could hold for additional minutes and achieve tax breaks. The governments could set up breath holding centres to ensure quality.
The good thing about this solution is that it is low cost requires no new technology and can be easily replicated. No need for large world summits, so saving on CO2 already.

There’s no hope for us any longer! We’re doomed I tell you. Doomed!
Especially with moronic “research” like this floating about!
The fact that co2 only makes up 0.039% – by volume of earths atmosphere makes their number just a little suspect.
It’s another Technical College with pretentions. Seems to be successful though.
Robert Gordon University is located in Aberdeen, Scotland. Building on over 250 years involvement in education, it was granted university status in 1992. Robert Gordon University currently has approximately 15,579 students at its two campuses at Garthdee and the City Centre, studying on over 145 full-time and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Much of the university campus dates from 17th and 18th centuries.
The Sunday Times named Robert Gordon University their Scottish University of the Year 2011 and first in Scotland for graduate-level jobs. It said: “With a graduate unemployment rate that is lower than the most famous universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, plus a flourishing reputation for research, high student satisfaction rates and ambitious plans for its picturesque campus, Robert Gordon University is The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year”.

There is indeed a very strong relationship between obesity and global warming. It is simply this:
THEY ARE BOTH SCAMS!
“Obesity is a scam?” I here you say. Indeed yes. You see obesity is a trans-fat condition just like type 2 diabetes. It is caused by the poisoning of 1) Brown Adipose Tissue. 2) Cell walls adjacent to Insulin receptors. 3) Mitochondrial walls. And all by trans-fatty acids. You can check out the truth of this by reading the peer reviewed literature abstracts at tfx.org.uk. Diabetes is caused by the poisoning of the substrate underlying a chemical reaction called the “Modified Electron Transport Chain” by trans-fatty acids.
So if any fatties out there who a serious about losing weight and would like to do so it is very simple. You see (2) and (3) slow down the passage of glucose to the ATP production centres in the mitochondria. As a result ATP production and consequently metabolism are slowed down over a continuous spectrum down to more than 80% in the biggest fatties. Obesity is easy to cure for the simple reason that most body cells die off every two years and you build new ones to replace them. All you have to do is replace any trans-fats in your diet with natural cis-isomer based fats and the weight simply peels off. The best sources of such natural fats are linseed and hemp oils. Most of the junk oils in the supermarkets such as rapeseed (canola), sunflower and corn oil etc and are laden with poisonous trans-fats. So only use cold pressed AND unrefined oils. Use animal fat or olive oil for frying and roasting and for two years at least ensure that your fat/oils intake includes at least 1 tablespoonful of hemp oil (or linseed oil) per day.
After two years you will learn the sad truth about global warming and obesity. You see what will actually happen is you will become skinny as a result of regaining a normal metabolism and in consequence your personal output of CO2 will dramatically increase. You see the truth is that it is the skinnies who are the most dangerous people from the AGW perspective. The fatties are simply acting as carbon repositories and are the greenest people on the planet. In both senses of the word.
The truth is out there, the MSM is almost completely controlled on this issue in a way that makes AGWs media control seem amateurish in the extreme.
Huth, Robert Gordon University was around before you were, so it seems fair to assume you haven’t been considering reading for a degree in Scotland in your time here. Before 1992 it was known as Robert Gordon’s Technical College.
As far as the report is concerned, the domestic diet is a contributing factor to the exceptionally high incidence of heart disease in Scotland, so any excuse to persuade people to eat a more healthy diet and perhaps exercise more will be sought. Linking it to global warming is just the latest tactic. It might take a bit more than that as our globally warmed summers of recent years have changed the preferred attire from shorts and t-shirts to waterproofs and snow shovel sales have soared in winter.
Oh dear this uni is all sadly tainted by their being in with big oil ! even their Chancellor is Sir Ian Wood chairman of Wood group a multinational oil and gas services company who said this gem
“”I used to believe in a democratic system but really if you look at the results yielded by democracy you realise most people don’t know what they are talking about. A select few should make informed decisions for the masses. I am willing to do the selecting.”
What nice man oh and it also turfed out a few right charmers such as
James Gordon Brown
Neil Gordon Kinnock
Donald John Trump
Huth;
You need to get out more and go to Aberdeen.
Robert Gordon University used to be a Technical College and recently had the status changed; but it has been going for a very long time and, usually, is very well respected.
I hope the BBC, in its blind faith, publicises this as it has to be the most laughable link suggested, beating any and all previously pushed by the high priests of CAGE hysteria and spin
Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, its only been an eduction facility since 1750.
Having said that the story should possibly be considered just more hot air.
Global enorming?
Is this the end of Scotland’s national dishes?
Chicken Fried pizza followed by Deep Fried Mars bar. All washed down with a good draught of Buckfast Tonic Wine (Buckie).
The only connection between Global Warming and Obesity is that they are both scams. Today most obesity is caused by trans fatty acids which poison body functioning and lead to a reduction in metabolism. There are three basic mechanisms:
1) The poisoning of the substrate underlying a chemical reaction called the modified electron transport chain. This reaction is used in Brown Adipose Tissue (Brown Fat) to generate ADP which is used to produce heat. It is also used in pancreatic beta cells hence diabetes is also caused by trans-fatty acids.
2) The corrupting of cell walls adjacent to insulin receptors so that pores are unable to open a glucose transport into the cell is reduced.
3) The poisoning of mitochondrial walls reducing glucose uptake.
As a result of (2) and (3) ATP production and consequently metabolism are slowed down over a continuous spectrum down to more than 80% in the biggest fatties.

As Climate Depot has it this cynical publication is a big fat lie.
The morphing of second rate educational establishments into universities in order to accommodate the socialist ideal of 50% access has not only demonstrated the intellectual short comings of the inceasing percentile, it has also given voice to a plethora of second rate lecturers, whose ramblings, without this agrandizement, thankfully would never have been vouchsaved to humanity at large.

A fat person is like a car with a full tank of fuel. The CO2 comes when the fuel is burned, by dieting or by driving. Are we sure this story isn’t a hoax?
Has the comment system be changed then? I normally get my comments on screen with: Awaiting Moderation at the top. I do not see my comment on screen under this thread. WUWT?
I suppose we should be encouraged that, for once, they’re actually ranting and railing against a “problem” which really is manmade. Okay, the article’s 99% pure rubbish, but that’s pretty standard in “climate” “related” “research”.
That last one appeared under “Your comment is awaiting moderation” but my actual comment has not? I’m puzzled. When I tried to submit it again I get a duplicate submission message from the WUWT site.
Yours puzzled??????
Margaret Mead, Lisa Jackson, Al Gore, Michael Mann… all outstanding specimens of ascetic leanness. We definitely need to follow their example.
Where does cannibalism fit in to all this?
Do we eat all the fat people?
;o)
Looks like I’m being censored…
I’ll try to halve the message size…..

Most strange. I try to post in two parts but that doesn’t work either.
I’ll try to post the first paragraph….
