How climate change is likely to worsen inflation
The Hill ^ | 10/04/2022 | Shirin Ali

Climate change isn’t viewed as a major contributing factor for high prices right now, but as severe weather events increase in frequency and devastate industries that contribute to the U.S. economy, experts warn it increasingly will be if temperatures keep rising.

Severe weather events, like hurricanes, wildfires and droughts, devastate entire communities while costing billions to rebuild. It also affects industry, from energy to transportation and agriculture, leading to a significant rise in food costs for millions.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week while speaking in North Carolina that climate change can manifest itself in “acute, weather-related supply shocks,” that create sharp reductions in capacity and raise prices for consumers.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also warned that climate change can and will disrupt food availability, reduce agricultural productivity and interrupt food delivery.

The federal agency warned that, “spikes in food prices after extreme events are expected to be more frequent in the future.”

How climate change is likely to worsen inflation

____________________________________________________-

I know how it will! We’ll get more government borrowing from the Fed to fund “environmental research”. and “fixes” for the “global warming crisis”.

Severe weather events aren’t increasing in frequency. Even the NOAA site says so.

The economic climate was great for 4 years under Trump, with barely any inflation to speak of.

Then, we had an economic ‘climate change’ when Biden took over, and inflation became unbearable and we ended up with a disaster in the economy and in many other areas.

That’s pretty bad climate change.

Whole scenarios like this are based on embedded false premises. People who ignorantly accept the premises are impressed by the arguments. It’s one of the media’s favorite way to lie to you.

Climate change causes racism. Inflation causes climate change. Putin causes inflation. “Retarded: is the word for these clowns.

Sinking money into “environmental” projects like wind turbines, solar panels, EV’s, selling off oil reserves, not upgrading oil refineries, shutting off our own oil reserves, growing inedible corn and on and on could surely help cause inflation. So yes indeedy!

It’s hell when the commie piggies don’t have Trump to blame everything on. Now they have to blame everything on their so called “Cramit sham.”

It’s is always a moving target. First it was the New Ice Age. Then it was Global Warming. Now it is Climate Change which means nothing. The climate has changed with the seasons from the beginning of time.

This is gaslighting on a global scale. It is a complete pack of lies to try and give total control, to a few elites, over the lives of all poor people on Earth.

No, it makes perfect sense.

When it gets too hot people are prone to heat exhaustion/stroke which can cause dizziness and confusion.

Ever since 2008 people on the board of the Federal Reserve have been experiencing heat-induced dizziness and confusion.

This caused them to print money and throw it at their buddies like a monkey flinging poo.

Perfect cause and effect.

That woman just won’t shut up! What will she say next so as to deflect blame from the major cause of monetary inflation: government creating money?

"Climate Change" is a fraud, so it changes nothing.

It is how policy changes in ignorant response to the fraud, which is able to impact the economy.
