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.

100s of millions of buffalo once roamed North America, presumably putting mass amounts of flatulence into the atmosphere. Did the near extinction of the buffalo in the late 19th century actually save humanity from climate doom?

I would have thought that the climate scientists would have chosen their animal counterparts- the lemmings…..

Is there any further question as to why there has been an increase of recorded moose attacks across the country?

They're pissed for now being blamed for climate change.......

I loved the Captain, and all the characters (’stuffed’ or otherwise) - and Mr. Green Jeans (Hugh Brannum), especially, in my very early life.

They were my friends :-)

I was in love with a much older teen-aged boy named ‘PaulSomePolishName’ who lived across the courtyard.

He was good at baseball...

Everything affects the "climate" in some way.

Some laboratory instruments have gotten so precise, even filling a bathtub measurably alters Earth's rotation in parts per gazillion, which in turn causes climate change.

Bunny Rabbit must have been a male cross-dresser.

That’s just it, the glasses made Bunny look female, but the actions were more like a male. I’m 68 and I still don’t know!.................

Bunny often wore different glasses; when he was going ‘butch’, they were just plain black or horn-rimmed.

Wikipedia refers to the character as MR. Bunny Rabbit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Kangaroo

Cosmo Allegretti appeared as Mr. Bunny Rabbit and Mr. Moose (both of which he also created), Dennis the Apprentice, Willy, Miss Frog, Mr. Whispers, Dancing Bear, Grandfather Clock, and Uncle Ralph; he was the voice of Aniforms puppet TV Fred (a live-action on-screen puppet that appeared behind the blackboard in the Treasure House), and was the artist behind the Magic Drawing Board[6][7]
