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.
