Friday's study also says climate change could cause hunger for millions with a sharp fall in crop yields in Africa. It could rapidly thaw of Himalayan glaciers that feed rivers from India to China and bring heatwaves for Europe and North America.

U.S. wingnuts delegates participating in the conference are not as concerned about Gore's weight, though:

U.S. delegates rejected suggested wording that parts of North America may suffer "severe economic damage" from warming.

They sent Gore a Hummer stuffed with chocolate-covered pretzels to show solidarity with his massive girth.
