| Thought cows were the only gassy animals belching up a climate change storm? Apparently the Scandinavian moose is also quite the methane machine: Norwegian newspapers, citing research from Norway's technical university, said a motorist would have to drive [about 8,000 miles] in a car to emit as much CO2 as a moose does in a year. That'll get you from New York to L.A. and back, with CO2 to spare. |
