More climate hoax BS from your Los Angeles Times: Alleged CO2-induced winter tick infestations blamed for moose deaths, with absolutely no evidence that CO2 causes winter tick infestations

Hunters, anglers report warming winters are bad for wildlife - latimes.com

For example, moose in Maine, New Hampshire and Minnesota are dying in record numbers, and the culprit is winter ticks. A moose might ordinarily carry 30,000 ticks; normally, cold weather kills off or controls the parasites. A study cited in the report says that warm winters might increase that number to 160,000 ticks. Enough to kill even a moose.

The Isle Royale moose population, meantime, has plunged to an estimated 1,200 animals, half the previous year's count. It was a matter of time until something broke, and it broke in a big way, Dr. Peterson said. Everything turned against the moose at once. It was the severest winter Iíve seen on the island. The temperature fell to 43 degrees below zero, the coldest on record. Three feet of snow aggravated a extreme shortage of winter browse,
and the moose also suffered from a heavy winter tick infestation that caused substantial hair loss and left them in a weakened state.
