Beam me to Planet Gore !
why does the word “bureaucrap” come to mind?
Tax politicians for their oral emissions, and create a terminally stupid tax on those who vote Democrat ...
The carbon that the cows eat was extracted from the air by fertilizer factories.
I wonder which state will seceed first? Based on this I’m guessing one of the states with the most agriculture.
Cattlemen are having a tough time as it is. Add another tax on them and many will go out of business. Besides, what good will an additional tax do............get rid of the gas?
At the last Cattlemen’s meeting new geneticly improved cattle that produced less methane was introduced. (Chi cross)
I was so amused, I never asked how they knew. But at the sale of fresh heifers the going price was $5500. I just may buy a few! LOL
"A lie will go 7 times round the world before the truth even gets its sneakers on"
But apparently if the recently-eaten carbon is re-emitted by cattle, it's cause for concern.
So which is it- do you tax the cows or the kids?
UN has long felt that we should all eat a vegan diet, could the greens be using lies about cattle carbon dioxide to push their agenda?
from the EPA site ...
“. It is estimated that 60% of global methane emissions are related to human-related activities (IPCC, 2001c). Natural sources of methane include wetlands, gas hydrates, permafrost, termites, oceans, freshwater bodies, non-wetland soils, and other sources such as wildfires.”
Note that it’s the IPCC report that is referenced, in the passive voice, for a statement about anthropogenic methane sources.
Anaerobic fermentation (and decay) are NATURAL producers of methane. I guess we gotta tax Gaeia.
If farting, is a natural biological function to all living things and we want to get back to nature with the green movement - what are these cows doing that are un-natural and we need to tax the behavior?
It turns out “going green” may mean cutting back on those juicy steaks and burgers....
Of course!....the left will end up taxing steaks and burgers like cigarettes and alcohol!
The islamofacists should just take the easy road and not fight us. The left is out to kill our society, anyway. Between abortion, restriction on energy use and now, starving ourselves, all they have to do is wait about 20 years before the west falls.
Is this a joke? Seriously.
Awww, come on farmers! Get with the program! Willie Nelson and John Cougar Melloncamp are big time farming activitists and they tell you to vote Democrat, and you do.
So if Willie and John say it’s ok, just go ahead and pay it. Maybe Willie will give you a discount on his ethynol he manufactures.
This is ridiculous. Prior to ranchers, buffalo roamed the plains in such multitudes that it was impossible to see the end of the herds. I assume they had flatulence on a fairly regular basis. Deer, antelope, moose, wolves, fox, otter, mountain goats, cougars, bear were all in abundance and also have the need to pass wind. How in the world can cattle, sheep, goat farmers who have herds and flocks in far smaller amounts be required to pay a tax on flatulence? I keep waiting for people to logically refute these inane attempts to flim/flam us, but all I hear are crickets (I’ll bet they fart, too).
