The tax money wouldn't be used for anything to do with the environment, you're kidding yourself.

Don't all cows produce the same gases, so you would need to tax dairy foods like milk, cheese and yoghurt as well?

Precisely, we already pay green taxes, and yet we have no solar or no wind power of any note

Cows that are bred for meat have a different diet which makes their gas worse

Why do some kids suddenly think cows are such a big problem?

Speak for yourselves rubbish England

Scotland has become a world leader in sourcing its electricity from renewables, after a record year in 2017 for creating eco-friendly energy, figures show.

The nation got more than two-thirds – 68.1 per cent – of its electricity from green schemes last year – an increase of 26 per cent on the year before. The figure was a rise of 14.1 percentage points from the 54 per cent reached in 2016.

Scottish government officials said it was 45 percentage points higher than the equivalent figure for the rest of the UK.

And that was over a year ago, I believe the current figure is nearly 75%

[bitontheslide]

North Sea oil/gas revenue is pretty insignificant these days, and that revenue goes to the UK not Scotland ... so its a baseless theory
