Flatulent Cows, Sheep, and Pigs Face World’s First Carbon Tax in Denmark
Breitbart ^ | 06/26/2024 | Simon Kent

Livestock farmers in Denmark have been warned the farts and burps from their cows, sheep, and pigs will be measured and taxed from 2030, the first country in the world to do so as it targets methane emissions.

AP reports the aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent from 1990 levels by 2030, said Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus.

As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will face a punitive tax of 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030.

So when God created livestock animals He didn’t factor in that their flatulence could destroy the ozone layer leading to climate catastrophe. What stupidity dwells in the godless, leftist minds.

The Danish farmers should decrease the CO2 produced by politicians breathing, by an amount sufficient to offset the methane produced by the livestock.

“Livestock farmers in Denmark have been warned the farts and burps from their cows, sheep, and pigs will be measured and taxed from 2030”

I wonder if there are plans to do the same in China, or Russia?

Scientifically, termites emit more gas that all animals in the world. Their little digestive tracts are digesting wood and emitting huge amounts of gasses. This is a plan to force people to eat vegetables. Well, not beans of course.

Who and how will the gases be monitored? Farmers should demand a “Monitoring Fee” of $43/T

So what is the leap for a carbon tax on humans?

Sooner or later, we will be forced to consider the death penalty for leftists. They have crapped on everything that they touch, and they are beginning to threaten our lives. So, logically, we must return the favor. It’s ironic that during their unmatched period of m*sturbation on the language, they have labeled themselves “progressives”. Well, I guess that since men can identify as women, progressives can identify as folks with measurable IQs.

Why is poultry excluded from this. I guess Danish politicians are in the pocket of Big Chicken.
