Norway's Moose Population in Trouble for Belching

The poor old Scandinavian moose is now being blamed for climate change, with researchers in Norway claiming that a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of methane a year -- equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.

Norway is concerned that its national animal, the moose, is harming the climate by emitting an estimated 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year through its belching and farting.

Norwegian newspapers, citing research from Norway's technical university, said a motorist would have to drive 13,000 kilometers in a car to emit as much CO2 as a moose does in a year.

Much like cows (more...), bacteria in a moose's stomach create methane gas which is considered even more destructive to the environment than carbon gas. Cows pose the same problem.

For Pete’s sake! Moose ARE the environment! Along with the moss and the trees and the fishes and the Swedish bikini team and birds and grass and....sorry. I’m tired now. Liberalism hurts my head. I think I will go lie down.

In other news, Al Gore was doing an air guitar imitation of Jimi Hendrix singing Burple Haze....

I'm going to begin selling Upsidasium credits for mooses who wish to offset their emissions.

Norwegian moose are very polite and say “ooofta” after breaking wind.

These people are really saying God is a lousy designer.

[Screamname]

These greenies are utterly and completely insane. This is the same as Leo DiCaprio and his obsession with cow farts.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The way Algore looks, maybe he needs to fart a few times!

[Daffynition]

At least get those moose out of the woods and harnessed into a productive life while they belch and toot us into oblivion ... that's what we do here.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

This obsession with greenhouse gases is going just a little too far.

Actually, it’s waaaaaaaaaay over the line!

[Lazamataz]

That is all.

Moose farts happen. Deal with it.
