Warning! Warning! Moose are on the loose! And it turns out that a big culprit causing global warming could be none other than Bullwinkle or at least his real life cousins. The Washington Post eagerly issued this warning on Saturday in a story by Erin Blakemore, "Hungry moose fingered as possible factor in climate change."
Don’t mess with moose. They’re big, they’re strong — and now researchers say they may be contributing to climate change. Yes, research suggests that moose may factor into a dramatic reduction in the amount of carbon stored in some forests.
Wherever they feed, the large mammals trample vegetation, affect tree growth and change soil composition with copious amounts of urine and dung. That’s partly due to their voracious appetites — adult moose can eat up to 60 pounds of food per day.
Dung? Isn't that another way of saying... fertilizer? And isn't that a good thing?

Moose bites again.
“Same hsit, different day.”
I used to eat at “The Hungry Moose” all the time when I lived in Alaska. They aren’t doing anything that would damage “da enviomen”.
Moose reduce carbon in forests but the construction industry tearing down natural forests, changing natural landscapes and putting up numerous buildings, shopping malls, houses, apartment buildings, skyscrapers and cities all over, inviting in hoards from all around the world to populate these places, that is doing nothing.
Got it.
Is there anything that doesn’t cause climate change?
Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t think anyone should be fingering moose.
Everybody.. check your sisters.
“Hungry Moose Fingered...”
I could say something about the moose and my sister but I better not.
‘Shared’ a trail with a a momma and calf once. I peed a little. 2 minutes of thinking I was never coming home to TX alive.
That’s nasti.
Sure, let the squirrel off the hook.
It used to be the cows, with their humongous farts.
It used to be humans, with their humongous SUVs.
It used to be dinosaurs, but, they all became extinct.
Maybe the solution to climate change is for cows and moose and humans to all become extinct. But, the one and only real solution is for liberal humans to become extinct, because then, there would be no more complaints about global/warming or climate change or cows farting or SUVs.The problem goes away with the extinction of liberals.
When we camped in moose habitat back in the 70’s we’d see moose scat all over. It freezes all winter and spring, and is deposited on the ground when the snow melts. I’m sure it’s great fertilizer.
Is there anything that doesn’t cause climate change?
I believe you have stumbled upon their strategy.
I didn’t say anything! Get your mind out of the gutter!
You forgot demented presidents with their humongous farts.
“Same hsit, different day.”
I know what you are saying, but, nope, the hsit gets more absurd, more insane, more inane, and sillier every single day. This one is plain off-the-charts, record-setting stupidity.
