Good journalism involves checking information, not just parroting back what the source says. The idea that fat people cause global warming is absurd and it's ridiculous that it's being reported as news. It's bad science and bad journalism to report it as fact. The same researchers presented the same flawed information two years ago: http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/2007/07/blame-fat-people.html
Thanks for sharing the link, Max. The link we shared did not reference the previous study, as stories about studies are apt to do. It's definitely a flaw in these types of stories.
