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.”

Oh good.

I’ve been wanting a longer zombie season. It’s so hard to reach the bag limit in only 8 months.

Now maybe I’ll be able to bag my 30k this year.

There are no zombies. They are merely maimed corpses that Chuck Norris has not yet given permission to die.

“Congratulations! You made it! You climbed on top of others at times, helped out the ones you thought you could save, but regardless of your level of altruism, you’ve survived the zombie apocalypse. Your knowledge of weaponry, quick thinking, smart planning, and cold efficiency have saved your life. Go on and boogie—you deserve it.”

Zombies

That's a good start (although I prefer the AR-15 platform), but you need to show a ammo fort to make it right.

You only have twenty rifles showing there. To be really really ready, you’ll need at least 21.
