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.

How many degrees in the hard sciences does this person have?

I thought so.
There is more methane gas coming out of the Mexican areas of Los Angles than the cows cause.
Those burritos & refried beans can be very dangerous!!!
The old lying Marxist thug is not even a scientist.
There’s a county proposal on our upcoming ballot for a flooding tax added to property taxes to help control flooding on the Truckee River. The whole county would be subject to the tax even though a tiny portion would be effected by river flooding. The areas that have a flooding issue from a different source are NOT addressed in the language of the proposal. Uh, NO!”””
ALSO- Millions were just spent on ‘re-routing the Truckee to prevent flooding!!! ‘Re-Alignment’ was supposed to fix all of this.
I live about 50 miles from Reno, in an area that is truly desert.
It rained on Monday afternoon between 4:30 & 4:50 & dumped about 3/4 of an inch on my ranch. I had standing water on my level gravel driveway & there were large puddles in the ditches. Haven’t seen rain like that in over 20 years.
Obvious glow bull warming. Saw that 395 was closed at Topaz Lake due to a mud slide and it even flooded the first floor at Topaz Lodge. Think that was Monday.
IF he wants to get rid of all the cows:
Please tell me:
What will parents put onto their kid’s cereal?
What about whipping cream for cooking?
What about ice cream?
What about Elmer’s Glue-—which is a by product of milk.....
What about cottage cheese?
What about any other kids of cheese?
Even the bones of a cow are ground up after slaughter & made into ad additive for your garden for your bulbs. Actually called BONE MEAL.....
All those tractors are used in growing food for the country-—even the vegans.
How has this guy managed to survive all these years while being so stunningly stupid???
Who appointed this engineering grad the Scientist Laureate for the U.S.? He’s nothing more than a libtard moronic. I suggest his research into cow farts must have involved excessive inhalation of his test subjects’ emanations. I just wish he’d shut up and that those eagerly holding a microphone up to his mouth would quit regarding el Jerko Grande as some sort of oracle. He ain’t. I AM a person with science degrees and I taught science for two and half decades. This guy knows squat.
“Who appointed this engineering grad the Scientist Laureate for the U.S.? “ Uh, algore as amb-ass-ador to gaia and all things climate related.
And the farmer should get a huge refund for all the carbon consumed by the plants grown by the farmer and the oxygen produced.
What a nut case!
And soda pop producers should get credit for all the CO2 removed from the atmosphere!!!
Aside from being a fraud and an anti-science PT Barnum, this nye idiot doesn’t realize that cows apparently don’t fart. They belch out the other end.
He’s smart enough to understand how the entire planet’s climate system functions, but not smart enough to know that cow’s don’ fart? They burp.
And they wonder why we don’t buy in to their BS?
‘I never taught cosmetology because I don’t believe in make-up exams’
droll...tres droll...
A tax on CO2 is NOT a “carbon tax.”
In fact, it would be more accurate to call it an “oxygen tax” since CO2 has two oxygen atoms for every carbon atom.
Carbon pollution is real, but it’s not CO2, it’s soot.
CO2 is a clean odorless non pollutant.
Bill Nye is a fraud.
‘Billy sounds like he spends a lot of time around cow rectums.
Recti.’
‘rectum’ as a Latin noun is second declension neuter, and ‘around’ is a preposition, so its case is ablative, thus in the third person plural it would be ‘rectis’...a reasonable Latin translation would go:
‘apparet quod multum tempus(Billy)expendit circa rectis vaccarum...’
‘How bout we have a civil war’
one thing for sure; if we do have a civil war, we can count on a certain freeper claiming that Abraham Lincoln started it...
“I can’t remember what it was called.”
A Farter Starter? Just a guess.
