CBS pushes study blaming climate change for rising childhood obesity rates
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoIt's always fun when a headline is disproved by the same article: > "[T]his seemed too insane even for left-wing climate scientists so I read the study summary. the authors don't blame climate change for children getting fatter, but that fat children may have a harder time dealing with climate change because fat people don't do as well in the heat," Simonson tweeted. Actual paper title: Moving in a hotter world: Maintaining adequate childhood fitness as a climate change countermeasure Perhaps we shouldn't get our climate and/or political info from Twitter complaints about corporate broadcast Morning shows? If you watch the clip, the presenter actually undercuts the climate makes kids fat "theory".
