Zombie attacks might increase due to global warming, study shows

A new study by scientists has suggested that zombie attacks might increase if the current projections of global warming are realized. “If the earth gets warmer, it means longer springs, summers, and falls, and shorter winters,” said John Carpenter-Romero, Ph.D., a zombie-ologist who co-authored the study. “And shorter winters means more time for the undead to prey on the populace.”

Dr. Harrister, the other co-author, and head of Zombie Robotics at Wayward Robot, Inc., explained that cold winters typically stalled the walking dead. “It is well known that zombies can’t operate in cold weather. It freezes their brains.”

The pair calculated a 32.782412% increase in zombie attacks if CO2 increased to twice its pre-industrial rate. “Clearly, this is a very troubling result,” said Dr. Harrister, “If we don’t do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.”

You know in your heart what that Christmas card will cause don’t you? hint It’s made of carbon basically.

Well, since it occupies a place of honor in my house, I guess you could say it’s a form of carbon sequestration.

I mean, regardless of how you feel about him, that’s one pretty First Lady.

I don’t think Bill would have been able to measure up.

Morning, T-C.

Clear skies for us. It should be a pleasant weekend.

It probably won’t be, but it should be.

A little cloudy here today, but the forecast says 65. We might get rain tomorrow.

Another Girl Scouts cookie booth this afternoon, and *another* tomorrow morning. Sigh.

Mine all sploded, or burst into flames upon my caress.
I dunno what was wrong.

They made “can’t hear” hand motions and began the chiseling in front of me, so I assume so.
