Well this sounds familiar. I'm an NZer, and whenever a carbon tax is proposed there are headlines about the "loony left" wanting to tax farts. Doesn't matter that animal farts weren't talked about in the proposal they see carbon tax and that's what they jump to. Then they go on and on about how stupid it is and how this will ruin the country. Like this guy they are quoting thinking that farmers will give up their livelihood and walk away in indignation and how it will be even worse for the environment because somehow it leads to more meat and dairy product being produced in other countries and their animals fart more. Okay??
