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.”

No, stop throwing $billions at it. It’s the spending stupid.
You have got to be kidding me with this retard crap
What kind of drugs does a presstitute have to consume to come up with ridiculous tripe??
Maybe it’s time for Mandatory Drug Testing and Licensing for Presstitutes
“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. “
When the Treasury Secretary is a complete moron, we have a problem.
LOL. How did the Hill come up with this before Biden? Climate Change caused inflation!!! It probably caused Trump to win in 2016 too!!!!
I agree. Climate Change is a major driver of inflation.
Of course we all know that CO2 triggered climate change is simply a hoax. But that hoax affects inflation way more than any change in the climate could. We spend $trillions fighting climate change. Since we don’t have that money we print some up at The Fed and borrow it from them.
Deficit Sending is the major cause of inflation. Not climate.
“Climate change” should read “Dumb ass Climate Change laws”
Co2 is main plant food!
More Co2 in atmosphere increases crop yields and saves water, especially on marginal lands.
Ping
Fixed it.
I think what everyone is trying to say is that “Climate Change” has been with us since the beginning of time and will still be here long after we are all gone. And you can take that to the bank.
I’m sure climate change will have a significant impact on inflation but I would imagine racism will be a bigger cause of it.
If the climate were to STOP changing, THAT would be news.
It bears mention that the planet IS NOT YET as warm as it was in the previous Interglacial Period. Meaning regardless how warm it is NOW, it's likely to get warmer still ENTIRELY FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
Better title
“How Natural Cyclical Warming trends have caused the left to loose their minds and falsely blame mankind for the warming”
Women and minorities hardest hit. Especially trans communities of color.
You can be sure if it’s in The Hill, it’s pure garbage.
It will contribute to inflation, but not the way this greenie thinks. So-called “Clean Energy” is expensive energy and must be backed up with natural gas generators when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t high. This will guarantee that everything we buy will be more expensive because the energy component to make and transport that item will be much higher.
