Methane - Hold it or pay the tax

Global warmers want us to believe that methane must be controlled to slow the pace of global warming. The EPA is considering a tax on methane release by cows and other farm animals. Now we learn that climate scientists have found a new source of methane production; and Al Gore said the debate was over; silly. Of course this new source doesn't affect their estimates since they have an extremely high range (30 - 100 million tonnes). What else don't they know?

If all wet meadow tundras release a similar methane burst, the authors estimate, a previously unanticipated 4 million tonnes of the gas may be emitted each winter. That amount would not effect established estimates that Arctic wetlands release 30 million to 100 million tonnes of the gas annually. But the finding, reported this week in Nature1, fills a formerly puzzling gap.

Next we'll have a tax for human produced methane. The EPA can rate different types of foods and tax them based on their contribution to methane production.
