Apparently there is a serious effort by the Obama administration to tax cow farts.

Republicans warn that the Obamaites want to tax agricultural methane emissions to battle the non existent threat of global warming.

Or, consistent with their Cloward-Piven strategy, they simply want to destroy the cattle industry.

  "Obama’s “Climate Action Plan” would require the dairy industry to reduce methane emissions by 25 percent by 2020. The Agriculture Department, Energy Department and Environmental Protection Agency are set to put together a “Biogas” roadmap to reduce methane emissions.

Republicans argue that Obama’s methane reduction plan could lead to “heavy-handed” regulations that would “have detrimental implications on livestock operations across the country.”

The EPA is currently barred from regulating methane emissions from livestock production through an “annual appropriations rider” that expires every year. But this does not mean the EPA will not try again, warn Republicans."

As it is put over at Moonbattery:

  "Anyone who believes that cows breaking wind make it be too hot out belongs in a rubber room. The actual crusade, or rather jihad, is against the cattle industry.

Liberals disapprove of meat; it reminds them that the human race is at the top of the food chain, not toward the bottom as anti-human envirofascists would prefer. Also, a quick comparison of the fearless cowboys who recently stood down federal goons in Nevada with the gelatinous slime transmitting orders from DC should make it obvious why libs do not like cowboys. They actually consider the term an insult, as many will recall from W’s days in office.

Also hard hit by Obama’s “Climate Action Plan” will be the dairy industry, where bovine flatulence would be heavily regulated by an alphabet soup of malignant federal agencies. Apparently milk is too wholesome to appeal to the folks running Washington."
