Next: Taxing cans of beans because of human methane...
No, we're not. A society s no more evolved the the people who make it up. As human beings, we are as we were 500 years ago, using and killing each other just as we have done for centuries.
Methane gas has increased 150% in the atmosphere since the mid 1700’s. (During the same time period, carbon dioxide has increased only 30 %.) A gram of methane gas has more than 25 times as much greenhouse gas impact as a gram carbon dioxide. As many know, flatulence, “farts,” are composed almost entirely of methane gas.
Therefore, Al Gore has developed a new program to combat this obviously increasing peril to our planet, and make a little money for himself at the same time.
It is called Fat Al’s Recycle Technology.
Everyone will be required to wear a “F.A.R.T. meter,” (Cost $75, available only from Al Gore) which will record and automatically transmit to a new government agency (the Federal Automatic Recording Technology Department) the occasion of each fart and the volume thereof.
For an additional fee of $4,500, interested parties can purchase a fart capture device (available only from Al Gore). This 25 pound device can be conveniently worn under the special clothing available also from Al Gore in attractive shades of brown.
When full, the interested consumer can present his fart capture device to Al Gore’s recycling center, where for a fee of $0.10 per fart, the captured farts will be recycled into the US natural gas distribution system. Al Gore also will receive a modest fee of only $0.015 per fart for the energy content of the gas.
The interested consumer will also receive “fart credits” for the number of farts he recycles. These “fart credits” can be traded to other consumers, who elected not to purchase a fart capture device, through Al Gore’s Fart Trading Exchange. Al Gore will extract only a small commission of $0.01 per fart for each trade.
All Consumers will be required to be “fart neutral” by a “Cap and Trade” regulation, administered by the new Federal Automatic Recording Technology Department.
Legislation is being developed as we speak, by the concerned Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and her erstwhile compatriot in the Senate, Harry Reid.
Get ahead of the mandated stampede to control this growing threat to our planet. Get you fart capture device now.
Simply contact Al Gore and follow his instructions.
I think I deserve many, many carbon credits retroactively for all the prime rib and all the steaks and burgers I have consumed at great risk to myself for lo, these many years. I should get additional credits because I never fart.
Sorry, we are in a ZERO SUN SPOT activity Cooling Phase.
Global warmers are People who believe MORE in Cow Flatulence, than they believe in Global Mechanics or Solar Activity.
Get your head out of your posterior and look at the Sun, Dufus. Also, Nasa continues to Revise their published figures once again.
You guys don’t want people coming to ANY Table unless they Bring Money or a Tax Plan to get it.
Call me when your great Leader, Al Gore, Rides a Bicycle to his next Conference.
These whores will do anything for money and control.
Great! That means higher food costs! This has nothing to do with climate, this is an agenda! The vegans and econuts want to cram their new age satanic beliefs down everyones throats and take us for everything we got!
No, not “unreal.” It was the program of a marxist named Jeremy Rifkin (Peoples Bicentennial Commission, Peoples Business Commission, Foundation for Economic Trends, Citizens Commission of Inquiry into US War Crimes in Indochina,etc).
He wanted to put diapers on cows or have ways of collection methane emissions (Job Application - showing pipes up cows’ rears. Job stinks but pays well). He proposed these attacks on the cattle industry in the late 70’s and some people in the media actually gave him some credibility despite his marxist credentials, plus the fact that I think he is out of his f*ing mind (but that is my opinion). Con-artist is more like it.
Later he wanted to ban cattle raising.
Who says the marxists aren’t out to destroy our society?
No veggie burgers for me!
Lets see, the cost of raising livestock will raise, and the end price of beef/pork will rise. Many farmers will go bankrupt and go out of business. Others will severly curb livestock production, meaning supply will drop, demand will increase, driving prices up more.
We are already diverting corn from human/livestock consumption to ethanol production, for this Gorebull warming scam, causing corn prices to rise, or corn supplies for food to be short.
We have a "president-elect" who wants "everybody" to sacrifice for the greater good. He'll tax gas so that we use less, to "protect" the environment. He'll reinstate the presidential ban on offshore oil drilling. He'll ban ANWR and any othe wilderness drilling. The US will be at the whims of Russia and OPEC for our oil.
Oil prices will once again rise, add to that The Ones gas taxes gas will be 6,7, or $10 a gallon.
The cost of gas will cost transportation cost to go up, meaning food prices will rise.
Trucking companies were already getting hit hard this past spring and summer. In the future many will outright go out of business. What companies are left, will not be able to handle all the trucking needed to be done. Slowing the entire economy more, but also meaning store shelves be be less stocked. Less stock means higher prices.
During the Great Depression, unemployment hit 25%. Imagine that many people out of work, wages will at the least stagnate if not drop and everything will be more expensive.
Add to this our government printing money faster than the machines can print it, in the form of "bailouts". We have another sign of inflation.
So many negative signs out there. And government officials bound and determined to turn us into a third world country/planet.
Cow Tax Proposal Would Threaten Agriculture Viability

Do this, and one of two things will happen.
Massive famine or a revolution. Or both.
