CBS: Kids are 30% more obese than a generation ago because of, you guessed it…

I was going to guess racism.

Well this is the IPad and Uber Eats generation

Oh', well damn, I thought it was high fructose corn syrup and video games...

I can believe the Frank Stallone end before the climate change end.

When I was a kid we were outside every day from 930/1000 am until almost 530/600 during the summer. Of course we really did not have video games or cable TV....until 9th grade. We ran the streets and sometimes we were playing street football under the streetlights.

I don't see that with kids today. If they don't need to be outside they won't be

I would have blamed it on systemic racism or domestic terrorism

They are kind of on point. Let me explain.

There is no doubt that CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased the last few decades. Why that happened is debatable. On a geologic scale the earth is still near all time low CO2 concentration.

One thing that “scientists” are slow to tell you is that during times on earth when the CO2 concentrations were ten times now the earth had an explosion of life.

As CO2 concentrations increase we are seeing a corresponding “greening” on earth. Why? CO2 is plant food.

Because plants (and crops) are more easily grown that has led to an abundance of food and nutrition. Thus, more fat people.

I also believe their are other contributing factors such as sedentary lifestyles and probability the biggest contributor, the invention of high fructose corn syrup in the 1980s.

Or maybe it's because they stuff junk food down their gullets and play video games all day?

I could make a better case for the overzealous COVID lockdowns / restrictions accelerating the obesity crisis.

I am sure now that it is purely word games anymore...

climate
kli'mit
noun

1. The meteorological conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and wind, that characteristically prevail in a particular region.
2. A region of the earth having particular meteorological conditions.
3. A prevailing condition or set of attitudes in human affairs.

This is why DEI, CRT, Social Score can all be talked about in terms of climate...they just don't tell you this.
They can straight face lie if they mean something else.
