The latest attempt by human origin global warming devotees to curb C02 emissions includes a tax on flatulence from cattle in the country of Estonia. Decorum is always appreciated in the comments section of any posted article, butt.....
The Estonian government has levied a flatulence tax on the farmers raising cattle of the country. Estonia, which belongs to the European Union is the only nation in the EU which carries a flatulence tax at this time.
Although there has been no explanation forthcoming of the total tax amounts levied against the farmers nor the manner in which the tax is computed, this can't be good news for the farmers in question.
Food production industries worldwide are struggling to maintain acceptable levels of production and distribution and not always able to keep up with demand.
While a cow can produce enormous quantities of methane in the course of its day, which is as much as 350 liters of methane and 1,500 liters of carbon dioxide per day, one problem which popped up would be how far behind can a flatulence tax be for those blighted humans who have a similar problem?
Should countries whose use of certain food products such as legumes (beans) be held accountable for their excess CO2 and methane production?
It should also be kept in mind the amount of protein which is provided by the raising of cattle for human consumption, which is not an easy source to do away with.
