Next they'll be coming for the moose. Courtesy of the Jammie Wearing Fool, comes this story from Der Spiegel.
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.
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 a moose's stomach create methane gas which is considered even more destructive to the environment than carbon gas. Cows pose the same problem.
The population of moose in Norway is estimated to be around 120,000. It is only a matter of time until some true believer calls for the eradication of the moose. For the good of the planet, of course. They're already doing it to the orangutans. With all the best intentions.
