Faced with a double challenge: obesity and climate change

The current global obesity epidemic is occurring in parallel with global warming due to climate change. Epidemiological evidence suggests a role for increasing environmental temperatures in increasing rates of overweight and obesity. The suppression, caused by high temperatures, of the energy expend...
