Oh, sure, part of it is the war in Ukraine and the Wuhan flu aftermath, but, mostly it’s you driving a fossil fueled vehicle
As Conflict and Climate Change Bite, Are High Food Prices Here to Stay?
Food prices around the world have soared to record levels this year as the Russia-Ukraine war slashes key exports of wheat and fertilizer from those countries, at the same time as droughts, floods and heat fueled by climate change claim more harvests.
Wheat prices hit a 14-year peak in March, and maize prices reached the highest ever recorded, the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES) said in a report released on Friday.
That has made basic staples more expensive – or harder to find – for families in many countries, especially the poorest.
Climate change, widespread poverty and conflicts are now combining to create “endemic and widespread” risks to global food security – which means higher food prices may be the new normal, unless action is taken to curb the threats, IPES noted.
It suggests not only cutting emissions swiftly to limit climate change but also tackling commodity speculation, giving debt relief, cutting reliance on chemical fertilizers, reshaping trade and shoring up national grain reserves.
See? Those other things are happening, but, that whole 1.5F increase in global temperatures since 1850 is the apocalypse.
Since the last food price crises of 2007-2008 and 2011-2012, “governments have failed to curb excessive speculation and ensure transparency of food stocks and commodity markets,” said Jennifer Clapp, a professor specialized in food security at Canada’s University of Waterloo.
Oops. The war has disrupted a pretty big chunk of global wheat supplies, but, the U.S. is doing just fine. We grow more than enough for ourselves, along with other products. Perhaps having basic food stuffs traded as commodities isn’t the brightest idea. Regardless, it damned sure isn’t ‘climate change.’
Meanwhile, the Let’s Go Brandon admin is going to make appliances and air costs more expensive, which will increase the price of other goods

No. Actions taken to curb so-called “climate change” are the main cause – just ask Slow Joe.
Hint: if you increase the price of energy – as this misadministration has – the price of EVERYTHING increases. If you are not aware of this, DO NOT vote or breed. But please, go operate dangerous equipment, as long as you’re alone.
