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’d think you’d at least have a Winchester 30-30 in that arsenal.

Allright. Everyone here has to read World War Z. Best damn book about the zombie apocalypse. Written from the viewpoint of the surviors after the war is over in documentary form.

I wish they would make a movie out of this book.

JRBC, Slings, and Xena found it before I did.
So they get the spot cred on it.

Well, you pinged me.

I really don't like to move onto active threads, given the number of URLs that have to be tweaked every time a new post occurs on the destination thread before The Move, but this one was much too good to pass up, and so worth the try.

And I got lucky. Thanks!
