How can they introduce a meat tax to beat a climate crisis we don't have?

Either there is no crisis and this is a money grab... or there is a crisis.

There seems to be something fishy here... </s>

Edit: Oh wait, The Guardian is a British Newspaper... we agree there is a climate crisis and we don't have anywhere close to the same ridiculous meat consumption rate as Americans.

Quite probably. However you can't really have one arm of Government not on the same page as another arm of Government. The purpose of leadership is to have all arms of Government singing from the same hymn sheet.

It doesn't work if you've got one office doing one thing and another doing something else. That's how you end up with the debacle that is U.S. politics, which the rest of the world looks at as a complete and utter disaster.
