To call this story unsettling is an understatement. In accordance with commiting to the Kyoto Protocol (which the US wisely didn't do), the New Zealand Herald reports there will be a flatulence tax at a:
". . . cost of 9c a year for every sheep and 54c to 72c for every beef and dairy cow in the country.
What's next? Taxes on human flatulence? And let us not forget about our lovely pets.
Curiously, although the environmentalists state their goal is a more green planet for everyone, it's hard to dispute the contention that, whenever they get their way, it means less green in the pockets of everyone.
