Smart...tax food in a time of massive food inflation. But, even worse, this solves nothing but the simple minded idea that cows ruin the planet.
Ruminant numbers are stable over the last hundreds of years (remember we had 80m buffalo in the US). The rumen is what creates the methane. Methane cycle is 20 years. Stable number, stable methane. Plus ruminants needed for healthy grasslands and soil.
Feedlots do add to methane because the waste is pooled and not used as natural fertilizer as in grazing. So get rid of industrial beef...not beef.
Methane rises almost exclusively driven by nat gas drilling. Bitcoin mining helps on that front.
Hope your got your cricket bbq skills ready for christmas season!
