Proposed fee on smelly cows, hogs angers farmers

Proposed fee on smelly cows, hogs angers farmers
"For farmers, this stinks: Belching and gaseous cows and hogs could start costing them money if a federal proposal to charge fees for air-polluting animals becomes law.
Farmers so far are turning their noses up at the notion, which is one of several put forward by the Environmental Protection Agency after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that greenhouse gases emitted by belching and flatulence amounts to air pollution."


And just who will ultimately pay these fines?

It looks like we'll all soon be tithing to "The Church of Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change...whatever...".
