"Denmark is poised to become the first country to tax farmers for the greenhouse gas emissions from their livestock in an effort to combat climate change by targeting one of its top sources – methane.

The proposed carbon tax – which still needs to be approved by the Danish parliament, according to The Associated Press – would go into effect in 2030, when Denmark aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% compared to 1990 levels. The U.N. Environment Program says methane is the second-biggest contributor to global warming, and the gas is released in part by farts and belches from livestock such as cows and pigs.

The proposal announced this week is the result of negotiations among the parties of Denmark’s “Green tripartite,” a coalition that includes, for example, government ministers and representatives from industries such as agriculture and conservation."

That is fucking crazy cows fart they always have are they going to blame climate change on cows now.

Methane from livestock is a massive contributor to global warming. And Im just as guilty as I still eat meat

Of course cows have always farted but the problem is the global herd is over 940 million heads last year. That's a lot of cows and a lot of methane.

I dont know what the answer is but I know one thing they are working on is "growing" steaks from a cows stem cells. Doesn't harm the cow so, in theory, one cow could feed millions. But they are still a long way off as I understand it

[TheButcher]

Let's be honest if they could tax us by the number of times we pee and take a dump each day they would. Oh wait they already do in the form of sewer fees.

I am not eating some "Grown steak" we eat enough junk with preservatives, hormones and chemicals as it is.

[TheButcher]

You know more than half my friends have diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure. Most of that is caused by the crap they use to grow food and we consume it.
All three diseases are on the rise, obesity is on the rise, honestly I am trying to eat as healthy as I can. When I was a kid and my mom made eggs the smell was so good, now when i eat eggs they stink. The same for poultry, meat, fish.

[BrasSmonkey]

it's not possible... they can't make them pay... there are krazy minds on this planet

[foxxxychick]

There you go another ridiculous law from a European country

[jag]

What is wrong with politicians

[AlexO]

What are they thinking it is not bad enough they are making a bid deal out of cars now they are after cows.

[cimage]

Cows then humans who fart will be taxed, taking this stupidity to the next level.

[mybitches]

My first reaction was this is a joke.

[Kosta]

Crazy how they think up of these laws to tax people,it is sick.

[T.B.W]
