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 carbon dioxide a year -- equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey.

Let's kill all the pooping Moose in Norway, then the flatulent Elk in Canada, and work our way south until we come face to face with the biggest climate culprit in the world: the farting cows of Wisconsin. Yes, the "Dairy State" should be renamed "The Dastardly Planet Killer", don't you think?
Wisconsin could change their road signs. Instead of showing signs to beware of deer crossing the road, they can show a sign of "Bessie the Heifer" with a big red line through her image, with the ominous title, "Eco Terrorist" as her new moniker.
Here's something to consider: the Alaskan tundra should be an environmentalist's dream: millions of acres of pristine tundra as far as the eye can see. It's also a huge contributor to CO2 in the atmosphere. So, Al Gore would have to take his Hollywood chums up to Point Barrow and start spraying defoliant as fast as they can. How's that for an Inconvenient Truth, Mr. Gore?

It's amazing the nonsense that people will go through to justify continued human output of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases. Thanks for passing that link along!
You know, humans belch, fart, and breath too. What I'd love to see a study on is how much CO2 we produce just by existing, and then add that to how much we generate by driving, using electricity, manufacturing our goodies, and everything else. I'm betting that a single human produces more than any 10 moose, and there are a lot more of us.

Oh, fiddle dee dee, what to do, what to do? What if the global warming crowd kills off all the moose? Would PETA go after them? How many liberal groups do you think we could pit against each other? Would the uprising be enough to make them all go away in the end? If so, then I'm all for it.

Yes.
I kill every Moose I can.
I owe it to Al Gore to make Moose Extinct, to save the Planet.
We all must kill the Moose.
That will balance out all the Private Jets that Al takes.

Pretty soon the left will try to outlaw beans. It will be one of the forbiden foods of the GW sect of the Worldwide Church of Gore.

Don't believe it -it's a conspiracy. If Mooses farted that much - why did Rocky put up with Bullwinkel????

No, we should find reasonable solutions to environmental problems. Why is that so hard to understand? Why do you have to be such an extremist? Do you want to do something proactive or just make fun?

Eat more moose!
They are delightfully tasty.

It would do more to cut the greenhouse gases emissions if we eliminate termites.

No, rather polar bears; it is my belief polar bear urine is really melting the ice caps, not this 'so called' global warming.
