Obesity is complicating the fight against climate change, according to researchers.
Obesity is complicating the climate-change fight, researchers say, especially as the Earth’s population adds roughly 83 million people of all shapes and sizes every year.
“Our analysis suggests that, in addition to beneficial effects on morbidity, mortality and health-care costs, managing obesity can favorably affect the environment as well,” said Faidon Magkos, of the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, and an author of the paper published by the Obesity Society.
The authors emphasized that it is critically important that this information does not lead to more weight stigmatization. People with obesity already suffer from negative attitudes and discrimination, they said.

People with obesity already suffer from negative attitudes and discrimination, and numerous studies have documented several prevalent stereotypes.
The researchers also conceded that their study is built on what they view as a less-than-precise combination of data from the epidemic of obesity combined with physiology, or measuring total energy intake and expenditure, and adding in tracking carbon dioxide emissions, which can come from a variety of sources.
