[1]I don't really know the situation in Denmark, but in my country taxing the emissions would not be enough. In my opinion 'we' are to far gone, and only a serious reduction of cattle [cows and pigs] would make reduction of emmissions work. more over it would only be susceptible to creative accounting tricks. As it is now happening with the dreaded nitrogen.

"Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark, a world first"

"COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.

"The aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030, said Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus."

"As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to 750 kroner ($108) by 2035. However, because of an income tax deduction of 60%, the actual cost per ton will start at 120 kroner ($17.3) and increase to 300 kroner by 2035."

"Although carbon dioxide typically gets more attention for its role in climate change, methane traps about 87 times more heat on a 20-year timescale, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."

"“We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045,” Bruus said, adding Denmark “will be the first country in the world to introduce a real CO2 tax on agriculture” and hoped other countries would follow suit.
New Zealand had passed a similar law due to take effect in 2025. However, the legislation was removed from the statute book on Wednesday after hefty criticism from farmers"

"Denmark’s move comes after months of protests by farmers across Europe against climate change mitigation measures and regulations that they say are driving them to bankruptcy.
The Danish Society for Nature Conservation, the largest nature conservation and environmental organization in Denmark, described the tax agreement as “a historic compromise".
“We have succeeded in landing a compromise on a CO2 tax, which lays the groundwork for a restructured food industry -– also on the other side of 2030,” its head Maria Reumert Gjerding said after the talks in which they took part.”

"According to Statistic Denmark, there were as of June 30, 2022, 1,484,377 cows in the Scandinavian country, a slight drop compared to the previous year."

$1tn a year in climate finance to the poor world will be needed by 2030 to meet the core goal of the Paris agreement, to limit global heating to 1.5C above preindustrial levels.

Keir Starmer will announce a stringent new climate goal for the UK today. He will pledge to cut emissions by 81% compared with 1990 levels by 2035, a target in line with the recommendations of the Climate Change Committee.

As a cynic familiar with the history of Starmer's opportunistic pledges, forgive me if I don't prematurely celebrate.

If you don't find this terrifying, then you probably haven't thought through the implications.

Especially as the world's largest economy has just put a climate change denier in charge.

2024 'virtually certain' to be world's warmest year on record

It is also set to be the world's first breach of 1.5C of warming across an entire calendar year.

What has happened in Spain with 500 mm of rain (per square meter) falling in just four hours can happen anywhere where there is hot air colliding with cold air droplets. The more than 200 people dead happened because the built in disaster prevention and management mechanisms were disabled. That is what Project 2025 (among other things) has embedded in it, so you really want to vote for that? Come on…

Addressing climate change is too expensive, they said. “Spain’s apocalyptic floods show two undeniable truths: the climate crisis is getting worse and Big Oil is killing us”

Agreed. What shall we do stop this happening?

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action.

We're all species at risk.
We need our leaders to take concrete action to tackle the climate emergency, which includes halting new fossil fuel development and implementing a rapid, just and equitable phase-out of existing fossil fuels.

We must abandon the flawed notion that the climate emergency is an isolated issue; global heating, though catastrophic, is merely one symptom of a profound environmental crisis of ecological overshoot.

Since 1990, the world has lost more than 420 million hectares or about a billion acres of forest and humans continue to cut down 10 football pitches of forest every minute of every single day.

Governments need to build resilience against extreme weather, droughts, and floods.

Intact forest landscapes and other nature areas are our safety net, protecting people against extreme weather and climate crisis impacts.
