Tah Dah! I solved the mystery.<br /><br />If they used a much smaller percentage increase then any confined area which is shared for periods by a number of people (all expiring CO2 at a prodigious rate) will lead to weight gain. Damn! the reason I have been developing a 'spare tire' recently is obviously all that time I spend in the lift.<br /><br />Oh, and by this rationale, being cold makes you fat too (increased metabolic demand, increased fuel requirements, increased eating - Q.E.D).<br /><br />I do so appreciate the laugh these 'scientists' regularly give me, I'd appreciate it more if it wasn't for the fact they're being serious FFSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508346572086151757.post-43558376133686951412012-03-15T22:51:36.952+00:002012-03-15T22:51:36.952+00:00"From that same data, my interpretation is th..."From that same data, my interpretation is that heavier people emit more CO2 & therefore could be the cause of Global Warming.
