Heats bed, turn off heat!!! Hope it doesn’t roll over!!!
As long as we insist that fat people are buried after they die, and make cremation of the obese illegal, then putting the obese into the ground will constitute the much-sought biomass burial. When we bury deceased fat people, it is plain to see that we are removing tons and tons of carbon from the carbon cycle and thus from the atmosphere, and instead sequestering it in the ground.
Not actually accurate, unfortunately. The carbon in a human body never leaves the biosphere. It returns to the atmosphere when the body decays just as efficiently as when the body is burned, just somewhat more slowly. Unless we can develop some way to keep decay from occurring, this won't work.
“They use more than their rightful share of healthcare resources”
Make ‘em pay for it. Problem solved.
“Unless we can develop some way to keep decay from occurring, this won’t work.”
Bring on the freezers!
Since they don’t live as long...
Not exactly a selling point though.
There is actually a better criticism of the “fat people cause global warming” idiocy.
In America, there is an inverse statistical relationship between body weight and income. Fat people are much more likely to be poor.
So the authors are telling us a fat ghetto dweller who spends almost his entire life watching TV adds more carbon to the atmosphere than a thin CEO flying around the world on the company jet? That a fat, one-car low-income family in their 1000 SF apartment adds more carbon than the four-car wealthy family in their 10,000 SF McMansion? I don’t think so.
We’ll leave the lifestyles of the (thin) showbiz and professional athlete sets out.
Yep. My list of people that should pay more
Obese,
smokers
social drinkers
social drug users
bike riders
all that drive
beach goers,
anyone with a tan
people that eat fast food
hikers
horse riders
people without pets
people that aren't married
yall feel free to add to my list
Actually “fat” people tend to be cold.
Please don't forget self-righteous Texans.
Dang! AlGore is taking this stuff SERIOUSLY!
I though everybody knew this one.
Warm in the winter
shady in the summertime,
and if tattooed....moving pictures all year 'round!
When we declare war on fat people, can we start with Gerold Nadler, Al Gore, Rosie O’Donnell, and, if we also count the massive amount of fat in their heads, every liberal on the planet?
Not the fat people I have been forced to share an airline seat with several times. They radiated heat.
Two observations:
1. Thin people, if they are thin metabolically, are burning off carbon sitting in a chair.
2. I notice big people usually buy small cars and little people buy big ones (it’s psychologically compensatory).
