The government is likely to tax farmers over the level of emissions, via farts and burps, that their cows release. New Zealand seems to levy taxes over farts, however, not those of humans but cattle. New Zealand, which is reportedly the first country across the globe to have ever taxed farmers on the basis of their herds' emissions, proposed the taxation in a bid to combat climate change.
