Denmark is making history. Starting in 2030, livestock farmers will be taxed for the greenhouse gases produced by cows, pigs, and sheep—yes, that includes burps and flatulence. The country plans to charge 300 kroner ($43.58 USD) per ton of CO₂-equivalent emissions in 2030, rising to 750 kroner ($117.90 USD) by 2035. There’s a 60% income tax deduction to ease the burden early on.
The move is part of Denmark’s goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030, and to become climate‑neutral by 2045. Tensions are high: farmers worry about rising costs and fairness. Environmental groups see it as a breakthrough. Whose side are YOU on?
