   No, I mean greenies worldwide.   
      
      
      
   > When you say farmers, you mean dairy farmers.   
      
   No, I mean any kind of animal farming - dairy, meat, eggs, etc..

   > Do sheep emit sufficient methane to matter?   
      
   All mammals produce methane, including humans. The amount depends on   
   how big the animals is and what it eats. It's perfectly possible to   
   reduce farm animal emmissions with the appropriate feed, but the   
   greenies and the governments are really only interested in fart taxes   
   for their own individual selfish needs.
