CO2 is a wonderful substance. We expel it when we humans breathe. Plants take it in and use it to grow, but global warming alarmists say it’s also responsible for man’s part of global warming.  And now… now… it’s making you fat.

In what looks like a last gasp attempt to depict CO2 as an inherent evil, a Danish researcher says the gas is responsible for people being fat.

When he looked around for other factors, he saw how the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere had also increased in correlation to the weight gain.

Fight the flab: The effect of CO2 on our hormones may lie at the root of the problem

He now proposed that orexins, a type of hormone which reside in the brain and stimulate wakefulness and energy expenditure, may be affected by CO2.
The hormones regulate when we go to bed, as well as the stimulation of food intake.
Hersoug also suggests as evidence that obesity increases in the U.S. happened fastest in the period 1986-2010 on the East Coast, which is where CO2 concentrations are highest

Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, Victoria, I thought you laughed your way through this story on the program yesterday. Laugh I certainly did. My thinking was, ‘what these people won’t do to try to prove the evilness of CO2. Now the link has been made between the left’s obsession with “man made global warming” and being “fat.” Now if they can just work in anti smoking messages and trans fats we’re REALLY talking!
