Researchers identify this mammal as latest potential cause of climate change, suggest balancing species

Researchers claim that moose are potentially a leading cause of climate change and that the species should be balanced, suggesting they are "one of the biggest potential single sources of carbon emissions from wooded parts of Norway."

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology studied moose in Norwegian forests for several years and concluded that the species have a major effect on vegetation growth and are altering the carbon cycle by dining on tree buds. "Moose are an ecosystem engineer in the forest ecosystem, and strongly impact everything from the species composition and nutrient availability in the forest. A grown animal can eat 50 kilograms of biomass each day during summer," Gunnar Austrheim, an ecologist at the NTNU University Museum, said in a press release.

Moose tend to eat birch and young samplings in clearcut forests, an act researchers claim is where the ungulates "gobble up" possible carbon storage in trees.

The ‘mammals’ causing ‘climate change’ are the membership of the WEF and DNC.

So it is not just people, and cows they wish to depopulate...

Now Moose as well.

Everything affects the "climate" in some way.

Claiming we can affect climate change and manage it is just a path to totalitarianism.

You learn something new everyday.
I thought humans were the mammal that needed to be balanced for climate change.

Because the thousands of moose that roamed those woods prior to the arrival of humans had zero effect on the climate. Just like the millions of bison in the US did nothing in comparison to the (smaller) dairy and beef herds of cattle today.

Oh vomit!

Climate Change is caused by the Sun, the Earth, and (maybe) the Moon.

I think some WEFtards just want some moose meat on the menu.

For the good of mankind, they’d tell you.

Among animals, termites are the worst offenders. Among plant life, plankton. Overall worst polluters are volcanoes.

This data came from the BB's fast facts and opinion think tank. YMMV

Moose numbers have declined significantly over the decades due to loss of habitat. They should leave this majestic creature out of their climate change bull.

Its very possible that collectively all the hot air expelled by ‘climate change activists’ are indeed changing the climate. They should be culled in the name of the perfect climate they espouse.

So now we must kill wildlife in order to save the planet. Makes sense.

These people are absolutely NUTS! Either that or just money grubbing for grants because they don’t know how to do anything else.
