Can you tax a cow’s burps? New Zealand will be the first to try.

That industry must account for a significant portion of their GDP, so what is this tax supposed to accomplish? There's already massive research into greenhouse gas emission reduction. They aren't going to discover something new with the piddling amount of tax they are going to extract from the cattle industry. They are just going to reduce the incomes of ranchers.

Greens are not rational people. Climate change to them is a religion.

Grass fed beef tastes different than corn fed...

Its horrible.

I think salmon is horrible. So I don't eat it.

I don't get the cow fart thing. This planet used to support massive numbers of ruminants, far more than the global cattle industry produces. I understand cleaning up industrial emissions, vehicle emissions etc. They are not a product of mother nature.

People think I'm strange because I don't love salmon. I find it too fishy. I don't mind trout though and they are a related fish.

Don't try to make sense out of the Green Movement. It is all politics and politics is rarely logical.

Maybe it's down to who prepares it.

Exclusively grass fed beef has a fishy taste. Fishy is good with fish, but not good with beef.

I guess you could marinade grass fed beef and get it to taste good that way.

Methane from grass fed cows doesn't scientifically cause an issue. It does from corn fed cows. Like I said, Greens aren't rational. If they focused on banning corn fed cows, they might win. Enough beef eaters have moved to grass fed and probably would help the corn-feeders in that fight.

Methane is actually a very potent green house gas.
