Everything that's wrong with science reporting.
1) Stop fingering the moose.
2) The WaPo article buries a critical piece of information: the scientists looked at moose browsing of *clear-cut forests.* By not mentioning this until the 4th paragraph, WaPo implies huge moose effects on all forests (and, indirectly, on climate).
3) If moose browsing of clear-cut forests is meaningfully contributing to climate change, maybe lesson should be to stop clear-cutting forests.

@WeedenKim these researchers, man. Like yep.... moose and deer eat saplings. Astounding finding. Nobody or their grandfather knew that yet.
