The fatty acid sensor, known as PPAR - delta, responds to
high levels of fat by turning on a metabolic process that enables cells to burn fat as an
energy source instead
of their
usual carbohydrates and sugars.
There is the «business as
usual» case that assumes 4 degrees
of global warming is inevitable, so we should use the cheapest and most plentiful
energy sources available regardless
of the fact that burning these fuels will raise atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations 40 percent
higher than current
levels.
