Public health researchers are idiots

According to this story on blithering tech-bilge site The Register, a pair of geniuses from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have worked out that fat people produce more carbon than thin people (presumably due to the cost of baking extra pies and all the CO2 produced by breathing twice as much as a normal person), and therefore suggest that the way to save the planet is for everybody to get thin.

Won’t work. If all the fat people became thin, they’d be attractive and start having more sex, and the resulting population explosion will accelerate the inevitable demise of life on this planet. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
