New Zealand’s government are proposing a flatulence tax on sheep and cattle to raise money toward compliance research for the Kyoto agreement.

Unless they find some hitherto unconsidered food stuff that cuts down on bovine eructation then the only solution I can think of is GMing something somewhere along the line. And that’s not going to go down well.

Does the Kiwi industrial lobby have greater leverage than its farmers? Does no-one understand that closing the loop on polluting processes will probably make them more efficient? And why is everyone picking on Flossie dammit?
