Global Warming Side Benefit -- More Zombies

This would be a cool unintended consequence as more zombies means more targets for the testing of my Transdimensional Zombie Discombobulator.

Zombie attacks might increase due to global warming, study shows

January 31st, 2008

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 cant 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 dont do something soon, the streets will be filled with blood.

But wouldn't warmer weather and humidity speed up decomposition?

The warmer weather would have the additional effect of causing water levels to rise, bringing flooding to low lying cemeteries. With the rising water levels, the coffins, being buoyant, would pop out of the ground making it easier for the dead to escape their prisons.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

Hey, what about the geishas who have to put up with the ninjas after they clock out? A brutal day on the job, and all that...

All I know is, I'm reloading all my brass and hulls, just in case.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
