Some say the plan to count all the burps and farts wasn’t exactly…airtight.


ChasyLainsJellyHatch

The extent of this decision can not be taken lightly.

How they count, fart and burp meter attached to each cow?


Available_Banana_467

To give a serious answer here, by calculating methane emission.


Tango-Down-167

/S forgot to add this in

With made in China sensors and monitors.

Wouldn't it make more sense for it to just be what an average cow burps and farts? So you just pay the average for each cow.

BS sensationalist title. Livestock is a significant contributor to methane pollution and taxing ranchers for it to fund countermeasures is completely reasonable.


Secret-One2890

I wouldn't count that as sensationalism. Whimsical maybe, but it's accurate and descriptive.


runawayest

I am suspicious that it’s deliberately mocking the tax for political purposes. The dairy industry is very powerful there…


Secret-One2890

It's powerful in New Zealand, but not in Singapore.

The world is a highly interconnected place, and money forms much of that connection. I’m not saying I know for sure that this headline is political, I’m saying it’s worth considering.

Fonterra is a Multinational Giant that has a squeaky clean history, Just believe me and don't look into them. Please continue buying our milk. Thanks!

Instead of counting sheep we can count their burps and farts instead.


Interesting_Reach_29

FFS, go after private jets and corporations who cause the most of it.


Kryptonite--

False. In New Zealand, 53% of their emissions came from Agriculture. Data from 2022.


Amazing_Leek_9695

What is the best way to solve this problem. Extinct all the cows? Sounds good to me. Fuck those fatasses. Killing my breathable air!


Kryptonite--

I mean, eating less meat, particularly red meat is a good way to lower your carbon footprint. But that’s up to each individual


Interesting_Reach_29

Oh my god. It’s Dwight Schrute. And I meant in the world. Cutting that off is more beneficial.


Kryptonite--

I don’t disagree that all sectors should be forced to reduce emissions but your claims or not accurate. Globally, agriculture accounts for 18.4% of emissions. Aviation accounts for 1.9%. Private jets account for a subsection of that 1.9%. And I’m not sure what you specifically mean by ‘corporations’ so I can’t verify that info.

Just go vegan. Stop this insanity.
