NOT THE BABYLON BEE: Denmark To Implement the World’s First Tax on Agricultural Emissions, Including Cow Farts

Something Is Rotten in the State of Denmark- and it’s not the livestock flatulence.

The unchecked mass migration is not the only failed Globalist policy that Eutrope has embraced – there is also the ‘Global warming’ hoax that ushers in a slew of crippling policies that is slowly destroying the continental economies.

Few countries are more enthusiastic on their way to demise than the Nordic kingdom of Denmark.

It arises now that Denmark is on track to implement the world’s first tax on agricultural emissions, including flatulence by livestock.

Yes, you read it right. Cow and pig farts are to be taxed.

The agreement came after months of negotiations between the country’s political parties, along with farmers, industry, trade unions and environmental groups.

They call it the ‘Green Tripartite agreement’ – we call it nonsense.

BBC reported:

“From 2030, farmers will have to pay a levy of 300 kroner ($43) per ton of methane (as per carbon dioxide equivalent) on emissions from livestock including cows and pigs, which will rise to 750 kroner in 2035.”

Denmark will do ‘what it takes to reach its climate goals’.

“’[It is a] huge, huge task that is now underway: to transform large parts of our land from agricultural production to forestry, to natural spaces, to ensure that we can bring life back to our fjords’, [minister] Jeppe Bruus said.”

The country will also try to reduce nitrogen pollution, in ‘an effort to restore the coasts and fjords’.

They will also endeavor to ‘improve the country’s biodiversity’.

“According to Danish daily The Copenhagen Post, 250,000 hectares of new forest will be planted, and 140,000 hectares of peatlands [wetlands] that are currently being cultivated will be restored to natural habitat.”

More than half of Denmark’s territory is currently cultivated, according to a parliamentary report.

“’Danish nature will change in a way we have not seen since the wetlands were drained in 1864’, Mr Bruus said, as quoted by AFP news agency.”

Danish minister for climate, energy and utilities, Lars Aagaard:

“’It also shows the Danish model – broad political majority in the Danish parliament [and] involvement of the sectors that will be affected by the tax and involvement of environmental stakeholders’, he added, explaining these are ‘things that we could all benefit from if the rest of the world could foster such cooperation in the climate fight’.”
