There’s something rotten with Denmark’s animal flatulence tax
https://www.cfact.org/2024/12/02/theres-something-rotten-with-denmarks-animal-flatulence-tax/ By Gabriella Hoffman “From 2030, farmers in Denmark will have to pay a tax for their animals’ farts. This is because cow, sheep and pig burps and farts produce a greenhouse gas called methane, which contribute to global warming and climate change. The “flatulence tax” means farmers will have to pay 300 kroner (£34) […]
Farmers turn into climate activists to keep IRA ‘green’ subsidies flowing to farms?! Farmers’ lobbies have ‘softened’ climate skepticism ‘as funding for climate-focused programs has flowed to farmers…based on carbon storing-farming practices’
Inside Climate News: The most powerful agricultural lobby group, the American Farm Bureau Federation, shifted its position on climate change, influencing conversations in farm country. The group had long denied the scientific consensus that human activity is driving greenhouse gas emissions, but has since softened its denial as funding for climate-focused programs has flowed to farmers and as carbon markets, based on carbon storing-farming practices, have promised the potential of revenue to its members.
So far, farms and farmers have received roughly $7 billion to help them implement “climate smart” farming practices under the Biden administration’s signature climate legislation, the Inflation Reduction Act. Another $13 billion or so is still on the way, though Congress’ efforts to pass a Farm Bill, which would direct those funds in coming years, are stalled. Republican versions of the legislation call for removing the requirement that the funding support climate-specific practices.
The USDA is investing another $3 billion in climate-focused agricultural practices under the agency’s Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities.

Flashback 2009: ‘Don’t Blame Cows for Climate Change’ – University of Calif authority on farming refutes UN claims – Slams Paul McCartney & promoters of ‘meatless Mondays’
UC Davis Associate Professor and Air Quality Specialist Frank Mitloehner: Mitloehner traces much of the public confusion over meat and milk’s role in climate change to two sentences in a 2006 United Nations report, titled “Livestock’s Long Shadow.” Printed only in the report’s executive summary and nowhere in the body of the report, the sentences read: “The livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalents). This is a higher share than transport.” These statements are not accurate, yet their wide distribution through news media have put us on the wrong path toward solutions, Mitloehner says. “We certainly can reduce our greenhouse-gas production, but not by consuming less meat and milk. …
Mitloehner particularly objects to the U.N.’s statement that livestock account for more greenhouse gases than transportation, when there is no generally accepted global breakdown of gas production by industrial sector.

…”This lopsided ‘analysis’ is a classical apples-and-oranges analogy that truly confused the issue,” Mitloehner said.
