The climate-damaging greenhouse gas methane has risen at a record pace worldwide in the past year. It is produced to a large extent in agriculture by the fermentation of feed. In New Zealand, a major agricultural exporter, the sector will soon pay for emissions. The farmers are not averse at all, in the sense of the climate.
The draft of the project was published on Wednesday. A price for agricultural emissions is to be set in order to curb the large source of climate-impacting greenhouse gases. New Zealand would thus be the first country in which farmers have to pay for emissions from livestock farming, according to the Ministry of the Environment in Wellington.
New Zealand is home to some 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep...

How about a price on the oxygen politician’s consume?
The left aren’t happy unless they have the steeple scared to death and self-loathing to,the point that they are willing to,spend all,their money to “fix” a problem thatnis entirely natural, and can’t be “fixed” (not,that it even needs fixing- co2 was over 1000 ppm I. The past, and life thrived just fine, yet we are to beleive that 425 ppm (or whatever it is nkw) is so dangerous that we will all burst into flames any minute nkw
"About 30% of methane emissions are produced by wetlands, including ponds, lakes and rivers.
Another 20% is produced by agriculture, due to a combination of livestock, waste management and rice cultivation.
Activities related to oil, gas, and coal extraction release an additional 30%.
The remainder of methane emissions come from minor sources ..."

The only measurable result that may be the result of more CO2 in the atmosphere as seen by satellites is a greening of the planet that has taken place. In the past 30 years the Earth has increased its green leaf area by approximately 5 percent, which is roughly five and a half million square kilometers, an increase equivalent to the size of the entire Amazon rain forest.
CO2 is helpful to plant life as part of the photosynthesis process. So, this may have very well have something to do with it. Is more plant life beneficial or detrimental to the planet? It is certainly helpful to people and animals who are dependent on plant life for food.
Won’t have any affect on the price of food at all.
Actually a burp tax. Cows release 80% or more of their methane via the mouth. The gas is generated in the last three chambers of the rumen the cows multi chambered stomach. There is little to no gas created in the intestines of the cow. Unlike monogastric animals that have acidic stomachs and anaerobic intestines such as pigs or humans. By the time the digestate leaves the rumen it’s primarily acetic acid, and bacteria proteins which what the cows actually “eats” it’s symbiotic relationship with it’s rumen microfauna has converted cellulose/hemicellulose to acetic acid, some remaining glucose and pentose plus all this a wonderful bacteria that make that possible. Yes as a matter of fact I am a scientist.
Now worries mate, there is a fix for the methane use catalysts to turn it into less evil co2 no really someone already has a device.
You are right the editors of this story called it a “fart tax” in the headline then amended it to say “burp and fart tax”
You have to use the translation prompt to read it in English.<<<<<
Where is the prompt located. I did not see this prompt you speak of.
It is dependent on what system you use. I get it with Microsoft 10 and Google Chrome the translation prompt appears perhaps you use something else.
Next up? SO2.
They will monitor your butt.

The Dutch rolled out their draconian plan yesterday and farmers are up in arms. It’s a 70 percent emissions cut plan unrealistic without the outright destruction of livestock.
It is dependent on what system you use. I get it with Microsoft 10 and Google Chrome the translation prompt appears perhaps you use something else.<<<<
Indeed, I do. So, being lazy, I went out and read the Hindustan Times article on it...
So they want to tax my farts?
They start with livestock and once the livestock are eliminated you will eat something other than meat and if you pass gas after you eat that maybe they will tax it?
I just released some methane.....
