No. Just no. Childhood obesity wasn't caused by air pollution from vehicles. Seriously, we should stop blaming everything on climate change, and start owning our faults. Air pollution is a global concern but please, I don't think it causes weight issues.

I doubt it. There are kids who live in places that is more polluted than this, but why aren't they suffering from obesity? Granted it was due to malnutrition, the thing is if it's true that air pollution can indeed cause weight gain, it affects us only very little. More than weight issues, what air pollution brings is lung problems, not weight gain.
