"research on emission reductions needed to meet New Zealand's commitment to lower greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto protocol."

Let me see if I understand this correctly. NZ will tax animal farmers because their animals break wind. The "F**t Tax" monies will then be used to find ways to reduce animal f**ting based upon greenhouse projections developed by the Kyoto protocol. Obvious solution: Withdraw from being subservient to the Kyoto protocol. Tell the rest of the world to go "f**t" themselves.

"Obvious solution: Withdraw from being subservient to the Kyoto protocol."

Really every American livestock farmer and grain producer should be thanking George Bush right now for rejecting Kyoto.

I can picture some Rat compaigning on Bush's failure to uphold Kyoto only to have some conservative bring up New Zealand's livestock flatulence tax.
