Global warming or cooling?


I saw a show about this on the BBC yesterday. Some scientists say that if the conveyor belt stops 50 years from now, the cooling of Europe will compensate the global warming and the effects won't be too bad. But if it stops earlier (20 years), it will be awfully cold here.

Another nasty side effect would be the displacement of the moonsoon (sp?) zones which would lead to aridity in the tropical bands, then to famine and huge population migrations...

Interesting times ahead or not?

most of the global warming scientists agree that the real problem will be zombies... The climate changes will create zombies.

What do you recommend against them? .45 LRN, 12 gauge 00 or flamethrower?

Note: I've read that the flamethrower, although very efficient, will contribute to the global warming and at long term will create more zombies...

Remember bullets cause damage due to punching hole in things, In living creatures holes in organs and blood loss is bad.  Structural damage is secondary against live targets but torn ligaments and shattered bones would have more of an effect on zombies, So Bleatles microwave actually has a use as a weapon for once,for the 1st zombie the 50 others will just charge in and devour him. But the Chainsaw is where its at in modern anti-zombie warfare.

well... everyone knows that zombies don't bleed out too well but... one in the brainpan is a sure cure for sleepwalking biters.

Big bore handguns are good for close work but I would prefer Federal hydroshoks insted of round nose slugs... much more brain matter destrution...  

12 guage with double ought from an 18" barrel is about the best tho... Longer range... high powered rifle in about any caliber.

Flame throwers are a bad idea... all that fat burning (especialy with American zombies) means you have a lot of moveable bonfires.

So, more fresh (or at least unsalty) water in the Pacific may lead to freezing the Euros? I'll flush twice from now on. ;)
