I understand the "why", but there are like 8 billion people, I lost count, shouldn't gassy people be taxed also ?

I guess it is a way to reduce meat consumption. But I think there are far better places to look, Oil Industry and use of fossils (ie plastics) then Cows and Pigs. But no Government wants to do the hard thing because the pols will loose their jobs in the next election.

People (even "gassy" people) produce very little methane, which is the primary biological cause of global warming.

This is talking about Denmark. They certainly haven't forgotten about oil and plastic. They have very aggressive taxation on ICE cars and were one of the first countries to ban free plastic bags.
