Moose Methane Bothers Norwegians

In spite of the fact that the moose is Norway's national symbol, Norwegians want to kill more of them to keep gas emissions under control.   Scientists there claim that climate changes have led to the increased burping and farting of increasing numbers of moose, with one full-grown moose expelling (from both ends) the methane equivalent of 2,100 kg. of carbon dioxide emissions.  They say that a return flight from Oslo to Santiago, Chile, leaves a carbon footprint of 880 kilos.  Shooting one moose saves the equivalent of two long-haul flights.
