Climate change: New Zealand's plan to tax cow and sheep burps

It would make it the first country to charge farmers for the methane emissions from their animals.

New Zealand has unveiled a plan to tax sheep and cattle burps in a bid to tackle one of the country's biggest sources of greenhouse gases.

It would make it the first nation to charge farmers for the methane emissions from the animals they keep.

New Zealand is home to just over five million people, along with around 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep.

Almost half the country's total greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, mainly methane.

However, agricultural emissions have previously not been included in New Zealand's emissions trading scheme, which has been criticised by those calling for the government to do more to stop global warming.

So basically, New Zealand Farmers will pay a tax on the farts of their animals.

Soon people will be charged for using oxygen, sun and the amount of shat you have per day.

So let me get this straight.

They want to introduce a tax to have less farts?

All that will happen is that the tax will be passed on to consumers.

They gonna take money from the farmers and thus consumers and give it to "solutions" people.

Making meat more expensive to farm in NZ so they will import.

Finally! A job for 30%-ers - to count how many farts your cattle/sheep let loose per day, but only if they can count.

Sure, cos paying more taxes to fatten the political elites wallets who couldn't even contain a virus in a lab and stop it spreading world wide is going to magically terraform the planet in to the tiny humans parasites ideal utopia... the arrogance of the climate cult believing they can control a planetary bodies billions of years old climate system is astounding

This is hardly new. An old story rehashed. Here it is from 14 years ago in the US.

Tax cows, hogs for passing gas, burping?

For farmers, this stinks: Belching and gaseous cows and hogs could start costing them money if the federal government decides to charge fees for air-polluting animals.

Yes, they even tried to make people buy electric cars and look how turned out....
. The climate stuff is here, deal with it!

The world is facing global hunger, so it makes sense to tax old ways that does nothing to alleviate this, so they take that tax and invest in sustainable food security.

So basically, New Zealand Farmers will pay a tax on the farts of their animals.

Soon they will have to charge people for shagging their sheep to recoup those taxes.
