This is the scheme from those eco-nuts on the left. They believe taxes will
reduce carbon emissions. This is the idea with tax-and-trade and now these
eco-tards are wanting to tax beef. Yes, these idiots believe that if a
higher tax is place on beef, people will cut back on eating it.

Many people think with either their wallets or their stomachs. Taking
advantage of that can be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
*A tax on meat and milk would likely mean we'd buy less of the foods that
contribute to climate change. And that's good for the environment, said a
study published in the journal Climate Change.*
"This tax is not at all a matter of forcing people to become vegetarians but
merely moving toward a slightly more *climate-smart diet," *said one of the
study's authors Stefan Wirsenius, of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden,
in a press release.
Tacking €60, about $82, onto the cost of beef for every *“ton of carbon
dioxide equivalent”* would reduce Europe's beef consumption by 15 percent.
By taxing all meats and milk, Europe's greenhouse gas emissions would be
reduced by about seven percent, according to the study.
“A ton of carbon dioxide equivalent” is the amount of a greenhouse gas
needed to equal the heat trapping power of one ton of carbon dioxide.
The greenhouse gas produced by cattle is methane, a gas 20 times more
effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat. Cows produce methane in
their stomachs. The gas then exits the cow through both ends, mostly as
belches, but some as flatulence.
Redistribution of wealth through taxes will not stop carbon emissions. If
one climate change scientist can prove taxes reduces mythical man-made
global warming, I'd love to see their peer-reviewed research.
