The number of moose in Northeastern Minnesota dropped by 11 percent over the past year according to the Department of Natural Resources annual winter population estimate.
...A warming climate, especially warmer summer temperatures, is considered an overriding factor contributing to disease, parasites, more deer, more wolves and other issues that directly affect moose.
Wildlife researchers estimate that there are 5,500 moose in that region of the state. With a 23 percent margin of error, the estimate is not statistically different from last year's estimate of 7,600, but it supports other evidence that the moose population is declining.Flashback: Alarmist Mark Lenarz thinks that you're stupid
I don't think Lenarz has any evidence that carbon dioxide is killing Minnesota's moose. Once again, it looks like the climate change hoax is being used to help gain additional funding.Flashback: Moose multiplying in Scandinavia - UPI.com
OSLO, Norway, April 19 (UPI) -- Biologists say there are now record numbers of moose in Scandinavia -- the greatest population since the Ice Age.
By the end of the 20th century, there were 30 times as many moose as there had been 100 years earlier, Aftenposten reports. The number of collisions between moose and trains, trucks and cars was also a record this winter.

Love that 23 percent margin of error for Minnesota moose. I checked on Maine and NH populations and like Minn. all of these moose population studies are relatively new and are used to guesstimate annual hunting license allocations and to manage the population. No other state presupposes nutty AGW theories impacting their moose populations.
Anyway, moose (aka cows on stilts) don't mix very well with humans, automobiles, and high-speed state roads. At a local gas station in NH, I saw dozens of moose accidents they'd towed, and it was creepy!
