Greenhouse gas tax

[WB5HQH]

Reading about the cow tax proposals for their greenhouse gas emissions, I got to wondering. The eating of all that grass and vegetation results in more digestive gas produced than say a meat eating tiger. Taking this to the upper limit, one could say that the personal tax should be raised on people who are strictly vegetarian, as I have personal experience as to the gas produced on an all veggie diet.

So if we have congress passing the gas tax, or is it gas passing tax, one should be ready for future taxes on all forms of animals.

Tom when you sell those corks better make sure there is a strict no-return policy.

Kinky, Tom.
What next, leather pants, whips, and chains?

The "cow tax" ain't ever gonna happen.

Seriously, NJ is proposing a cow tax, a hefty one, and the dairy farmers said they will have no choice but to go out of business. One farmer, a fairly small operation, faces a $32,000.00 tax!

$10/gal milk on it's way to NJ, or NJ residents on their way to somewhere else.
I assume you will hold your elected official personally responsible for his/her vote.

Animal agriculture has been declared a "major threat to the environment" by the United Nations. Methane generated by livestock is worse than all the CO2 emitted by cars.

Any government committed to reducing greenhouse gas MUST take steps to manage their livestock industries. If they don't they'll just be wasting their time.

They may not go as far as taxing farmers directly, but they are going to be introducing legislation forcing farmers to manage their animals in a different manner and to find better ways of disposing of manure.

I think anyone who feels fighting global warming will consist of using CFL bulbs, driving a smaller vehicle and putting a solar cell on their roof is in for a big shock. Major lifestyle changes will have to be made.
