I'm totally in favour of Poland's election victors, Civic Platform's (PO) proposal to introduce a flat {-ulence}tax proposal of 15%. It will be of great benefit to everybody's health and the world's environment at large. For a long time now I have been telling friends, without much effect I should say, about the harm cows are doing to the environment with their pugnant methane. We humans are fairly innocent compared to the globally warming stench they omit on a daily basis. Seriously, let's look at the science.

The New Zealanders tried to bring in the flat(-ulence) tax, better known as the fart tax, as a part of their Kyoto protocol promises. Needless to say it outraged farmers. The latter just wouldn't listen to the politicians point that 50% of greenhouse gas emissions come from their cows' asses - well, actually the cow scientist specialists would say the authorities there misled the public somewhat. In a sense PO are guilty of the same flaw, with their catchy populist 'flat tax' propaganda.

The fact of the matter, from a scientific perspective, is that the majority of the methane is a result of burping, not farting! The bacteria in the rumen (1st stomach) is the main agent of ice sheet melting in this case.

So I would say to Civic Platform (PO) leaders, stop misguiding the Polish public. We are bright enough to face up to reality and make the necessary changes.

Just be honest and call it the 'Burping tax' - we're all right behind ye on this one!
