You seem to NOT be taking global warming seriously.

Rotting is a major producer of the gas commonly know as methane. Additionally, Carbon Dioxide is also produce during putrification, not to mention any embalming fluids let into water supplies.

This is completely anti-green.

So do zombies fart?

Dya has been suspiciously talking about her fart stew. Now we know.

Zombies=#1 contributors of Greenhouse Gases:

Quote:

The bloat stage provides the first clear visual sign that microbial proliferation is underway. In this stage, anaerobic metabolism takes place, leading to the accumulation of gases, such as hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, and methane. The accumulation of gases within the bodily cavity causes the distention of the abdomen and gives a cadaver its overall bloated appearance.[8] The gases produced also cause natural liquids and liquefying tissues to become frothy.[6] As the pressure of the gases within the body increases, fluids are forced to escape from natural orifices, such as the nose, mouth, and anus, and enter the surrounding environment. The buildup of pressure may also cause rupturing of the skin.[8]

Intestinal anaerobic bacteria transform haemoglobin into sulfhemoglobin and other colored pigments. The associated gases which accumulate within the body at this time aid in the transport of sulfhemoglobin throughout the body via the circulatory and lymphatic systems, giving the body an overall marbled appearance.[9]

If insects have access, maggots hatch and begin to feed on the body’s tissues.[3] Maggot activity, typically confined to natural orifices and masses under the skin, causes the skin to slip and hair to detach from the skin.[6] Maggot feeding, and the accumulation of gases within the body, eventually leads to post-mortem skin ruptures which will then further allow purging of gases and fluids into the surrounding environment.[5] Ruptures in the skin allow oxygen to re-enter the body and provide more surface area for the development of fly larvae and the activity of aerobic microorganisms.[8] The purging of gases and fluids results in the strong distinctive odours associated with decay.[3]

The thing is are zombies really dead?
They eat, mostly brains true, so they must be metabolising

I am supposing these are propery re-animated zombies, not viral infection zombies. It was never specified.

If they are the disease type Thumbs up

Badger, carbon dioxide is necessary for green plants to live and thrive, so your argument doesn't hold water. Zombies actually help the environment and help green plants to work better.

Science information from a source wrote:

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a naturally occurring chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and exists in Earth's atmosphere in this state, as a trace gas at a concentration of 0.039% by volume.

As part of the carbon cycle known as photosynthesis, plants, algae, and cyanobacteria absorb carbon dioxide, light, and water to produce carbohydrate energy for themselves and oxygen as a waste product.[1] But in darkness photosynthesis cannot occur, and during the resultant respiration small amounts of carbon dioxide are produced.[2] Carbon dioxide also is a by-product of combustion; is emitted from volcanoes, hot springs, and geysers; and is freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution.

If I read the last sentence correctly, getting your rocks of* is also a source of CO2. Confused

Yeah maybe we should stick to sprouts as offensive weapons, there will be plenty of them left to throw at zombies
Maybe some other brassica as well
I'm sure the nice people up the castle won't mind me stuffing a cabbage in the One O'clock Gun or Mons Meg

Mexico City claims zombie walk world record

Correspondents say the zombie craze has particular resonance in Mexico

Nearly 10,000 people have paraded in Mexico City dressed as zombies in what organisers claim is the biggest "zombie walk" ever held.

Wearing ghoulish make-up and rags splattered with fake blood, the "undead" shambled and groaned through the heart of the capital.

The current Guinness world record is held by Asbury Park in the US, where 4,093 zombies marched in 2010.

Zombie walks have grown in popularity worldwide in recent years.

The craze for dressing up as the "living dead" has been fuelled by movies, television, video games and literature.

A group in Brisbane in Australia has also laid claim to the record after massing 8,000 zombies last month.

Cultural critics have variously suggested the phenomenon may be linked to economic austerity or a critique of consumerism.

But participants usually say they are doing it for fun.

Correspondents say the craze has particular resonance in Mexico, where the "Day of the Dead" is a national celebration and where brutal killings by drugs gangs dominate the news.

Elsewhere in Latin America, Lima in Peru, Santiago in Chile and Sao Paulo in Brazil have all staged zombie walks this year.

Sounds like a typical Saturday night up town, so I hear

We need good zombie ammo, Tsnerd, and a good series of zombie pistols, and then, of course, zombie targets to train with.
