Denmark: Cows to Pay $100 Tax For Their Burps and Farts | Firstpost America

Denmark’s government has decided to make cows pay for their gaseous contributions to climate change. Starting in 2030, dairy farmers will face an annual tax of $96 per cow for the planet-heating emissions that they generate. With this, the government aims at tackling climate head-on. This ground-breaking plan targets one of the biggest sources of emissions in the nation and promises to reshape the agricultural landscape. Experts say the estimate is that in 2030, 46 percent of the Danish emissions will be from the agricultural sector, the non-energy related emissions from the agricultural sector, so there has to be something that has to be done to reduce the emissions.
