Blame the declining Minnesota moose population on climate change?

Here is a New York Times article on the declining moose population in Minnesota. The moose thrive in this abnormally long winter, but have the past hotter and longer summers in combination with shorter winters stressed them out? With warmer temps, the white-tailed deer population has risen which is the carrier of brain worm, which is fatal to moose. Is climate change to blame? If it is, what can we do for the Minnesota moose population. Or is this rapid recent decline similar to that of the brown bats on the East Coast…unable to be explained.
