I’ve seen this type of stuff before, but, not since Obama was president, and the media were trying to protect him
Climate change is a secret driver of inflation
Extreme weather worsened by climate change is a hidden cause of inflation, threatening to push up already high prices of everything from food and clothing to electronics.
Why it matters: Heavy rainfall, flooding, heat waves and droughts erode agriculture, infrastructure and workers’ ability to stay on the job — all of which lead to supply-chain breakdowns and worker shortages.
See, not just weather, which always happens, but, extreme weather because you refuse to pay your tithe to government for your bad behavior. The screed mentions a bunch of things, but, fails to provide any evidence than it is anything but natural climatic changes, which has occurred many a time. Such as
- Dairy and meat prices in Europe are rising even higher as droughts zap lands meant for grazing and growing grain for feed.
- In the U.S., wheat fields in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and cotton harvests in Texas have also been withering due to drought.
But, um, wait
Between the lines: Extreme weather is affecting both the supply and demand sides of the economy, Tamma Carleton, a professor of environmental economics at UC Santa Barbara, tells Axios.
- Research hasn’t yet quantified the exact impact extreme weather has on inflation. Some changes, such as the price of agriculture, are easier to pin down, while others — such as worker productivity — are harder to detect.
So, they don’t really know? Surprise! They’re just deeming that it’s happening, because it’s a cult.
