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.”

The modules tend to be sporadic at releasing their energy.
My sis can relate some of the less fantastic ways in which I coaxed extra energy releases from those modules.

Despite current indications, our local weather lore relates that Winters are getting milder.

My observation is that so are the Summers.

.

I explained it recently this way: When you add heat to a pot, the water boils more vigorously, but it doesn’t get hotter. When more energy gets trapped on Earth, the atmosphere stirs more vigorously. We get warmer weather in both Winter and Summer, but the winds circulate the extremes away.

That’s the theory, anyway. Of course, there will be still-air days, when the heat just seems to simmer. That’s what Al Gore counts on. We need to save some of our snowballs in the freezer to whack him with when he spouts off about it.

If you think I might be off track about this, try explaining why no amount of (within parameters) Global Warming will cause the snow-capped mountains to be laid bare. If the tropical heat is carried into the upper atmosphere, it radiates away really well.

The best one, I agree!

The author, Max Brooks, also wrote “The Zombie Survival Guide”

Great thread!

I want to know who is going to tape algore's mouth shut.

No sooner does he flap his yap then we have record cold and snow. The state declared a freaking no move order for all roads north of Cadillac. That has never happened in the history of the state.

THIS IS MICHIGAN! We live for snow and ice. But yesterday was, as one driver put it, like "trying to drive through a glass of milk".

Hmmm, got a zombie plan. It involves the Yearly Kos convention, five pounds of sweetbreads, and a Robert Heinlein-type thirty-second bomb.
