New Zealand to tax farmers for their cow and sheep burps

Published

on

Better out than in except for when you’re in New Zealand where they’ve found an interesting way to tackle climate change

Farmers will soon be forced to pay taxes for sheep and cattle burps making the island nation the first to impose taxes on methane emissions produced by animals.

Agriculture contributes to almost half of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions with the country housing about 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep.

The country’s government has been previously criticised for not including agricultural emissions in the nation’s emissions trading scheme.

New Zealand’s climate change minister James Shaw says “There is no question” that the country needs to “cut the amount of methane” they are putting into the atmosphere, and an effective emissions pricing system for agriculture will play a key part in that.

The proposal will mean farmers will have to pay for their gas emissions from 2025.

But there are some farmers could benefit if they choose to lower emissions through feed additives and plant trees on farms.

Published

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
