The study points to climate change and rising temperatures adversely affecting childhood obesity, as children spend less time exercising outdoors.

Even the most apocalyptic climate doomism would mean any particular place is now the temperature of a place 70 miles to the south. Oh lord, kids are fat in Charlotte because it's the temperature of Columbus and kids are fat in Richmond because it's the temperature of Charlotte. And kids are fat in Baltimore because it's the temperature of Richmond. Fucking really.

Er, you mean Colombia, SC? The most famous Columbus is in Ohio.
