Norway's Moose Population in Trouble for Belching
2007-08-22
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 Al Gore 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, bacteria in Hillary's a moose's stomach create methane gas which is considered even more destructive to the environment than carbon gas. Cows pose the same problem.

Norway has some 120,000 meese moose but an estimated 35,000 are expected to be killed in this year's moose hunting season, which starts on September 25, Norwegian newspaper VG reported.
Are there any carbon credits to be claimed here?

#1  So what is it methane or CO2?

Typical clueless MSM reporting on global warming. A human emits about a kilo a day of CO2 by breathing. A moose is about 7 times the size of a man. So a moose will emit more than 2,000 kilos of CO2 a year just by breathing.
