If everyone lost weight at the same time

So, theoretically, if everyone in the world all lost weight all at the same time what would happen? The weight doesn't just disappear. Presumably it gets converted into energy - kinetic? heat? So would the temperature of the planet increase?

Do you reckon we've got sufficient mass on MFP to do a convincing experiment?

Hmm..I love this. I know that it would be quite an interesting answer, that would also include things like toxins being released from our bodies and being released into the environment no doubt. I think it would cause a lot of strange world wide weather changes! HAHA..we would sweat so much and that sweat would evaporate adding more water molecules to the air..hmm..what else.

Crikey, I hadn't even considered the toxins - good point!

Wasn't there a Doctor Who story like that? Little White creatures started wandering around which were made out of fat!
