Moose Burps More Worser Than Car Exhaust

I think this means cars really aren’t that bad.

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.

If this keeps up they’ll have to rename Frostbite Falls Minnesota.

Keel moose and squirrel!



Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

I guess that explains Canada choosing the moose as one of their official national mascots

Wow.  The moose’s emission of “green house gases” is limited to belching and flatulence?  Does it not respirate as well?  Perhaps is breathes in nitrogen and expels ammonia?

Won’t these global warming worries be shocked to find out that, after volcanism, animals, both land and sea, are the greatest source of carbon dioxide and methane.

Reminds me of the time I climbed Whychataka Peak. Pretty smoggy up there, too!

The article says carbon dioxide, not methane, but then later alludes to that.  For the record, if you eat 2000 calories per day, your carbon dioxide output is around 400kG.  Scales roughly with weight, really.

No comment on your likely methane output.

good job, Random!

It was in fact, Jinx who said it, and the meese were Pixie and Dixie, old Hanna Barbera cartoon characters from when cartoons were still funny.

You, sir (or ma’am, whatever) may fit in here nicely since many of us on this site have piles of equally useless information in our brains.

OK, I didn’t know that he was married to a fuzzy pink.

Another one of Niven’s personal rules I wish I followed better is that when a mechanical device isn’t working perfectly get it fixed or throw it away immediately.

Amazing group of people you have here Rob… they go from moose farts to pink fuzzy slippers all in one post

Sorry, thinking about moose gets me thinking about mousse. 
That gets me thinking about whipped cream.
That gets me thinking about Fuzzy Pink (Marilyn?) Niven.
And so we get to fuzzy pink slippers.
