New Zealand to Tax Cow Burps to Fight Climate Change
New Zealand has proposed a new tax directed at the “greenhouse gases” that farm animals produce, such as methane gas and nitrous oxide from their urine.

The island nation of New Zealand—a country with twice as many cows and five times as many sheep as people—has proposed a new tax directed at the “greenhouse gases” that farm animals produce, such as methane gas from cows and sheep burping and nitrous oxide from their urine. This tax is part of their plan to fight climate change by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2050.
