Netflix host “Science Guy” Bill Nye has a new solution for the world’s environmental problems: taxing cow farts.
“Well, this is what we can do and it’s a win-win: to have a fee on carbon. So if you are raising livestock and producing a lot of carbon dioxide with your farm equipment and the exhaust from the animals, then you would pay a fee on that and it would be reflected in the price of meat, reflected in the price of fish, reflected in the price of peanuts,” Bill Nye said in a recent interview with the Daily Beast.
“This would be a free-market way to reckon the real cost of a meat diet to the world,” Nye continued. “But conservatives now are against such a thing because they’re against any regulation, any tax or any government involvement in anything. But again, it won’t last, and a carbon fee would be a fantastic thing for the world.

And yet there used to be millions of roaming bison here. Let’s also forget about all the wildlife that we have zero control over that is probably orders of magnitude more influential.
I was a "Beakman's World" fanatic ... I even purchased all of the shows on DVD.
I felt about Beakman as Sheldon did about Professor Proton ...
Too bad we can’t tax the emissions of leftists.
Is he going to go out and stand behind the cow and count them?! Better stick his ear up close so he doesn’t miss any.
“We need a tax on every crazy idea about a tax.”
The psychotic left will continually get away with their confiscatory tax schemes as long as there are those in elected office who are afraid of the hardcore, leftist, adolescent-pyschotic Progressives who literally get away with murder.
IMHO
Shhhhhh. We’re not supposed to bring up things like that. You’ll ruin everything.
I worked in the farm supply industry for a while. We had a tool for that. It was a 10 inch long stainless steel tube, with a spike that slid in and out. You put the tube against the cows belly, punched the spike in to make a hole, pushed tube in as you pulled out the spike and the gas was released.
Last resort tool to save the cow. I can’t remember what it was called.
Netflix: Nye, Obama’s... sad demise, need to cancel subscription.
I got a solution Nye. How bout we have a civil war and we hang you by your pencil neck till you rot from the rope you SOB.
Bill Nye does not believe in the scientific method. If a hypothesis cannot be tested and falsified or confirmed with a verifiable and repeatable experiment it is not a scientific hypothesis. There is nothing scientific about designing computer models that are meant to confirm a theory, especially when these models have been shown repeatedly to have less predictive value than random chance.
Even with the break down of our public schools... not too distant generations will look back and wonder what kind of idiots claimed that this global warming nonsense was a valid scientific theory.
Thats all he has? A BS in mechanical engineering?
That MOFO has no more qualifications than I do! I got a degree in Marine Diesel engineering.
WTF!? What a fraud!
Bill Nye IS a cow fart.
Do liberal totalitarians ever nave an answer for ANYTHING that doesn’t include taxes. I wonder if Btw and Bloomberg plot together in a closet?
Why don’t we tax your gaseous emissions, Billy? You’re full of it as it is.
I’ll pass
Relief pipe? ;-) But yes, I know what you are talking about.
I’m kinda amazed #MeToo didn’t catch up to him. He always struck me as a perv.
