Zombie attacks might increase due to global warming, study shows
2008-02-01
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.”

With the untimely demise of the Weekly World News, we must take our news where we can get it.

#10  The theory this study is based upon is that zombies are not warm blooded and the colder weather causes issues with their mobility. Blood pools in the feet without a heart pumping it around and if that blood were to freeze, well you might not be able to walk around much with frozen stumps for feet.

Lotta researchers would round that off to 33%. The fact that they didn't here shows me these guys are serious, responsible, researchers. Any doubt of the methodology is gone, and I, for one, welcome our new Zombie overlords
