Climate change policies and environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards will have an outsized negative impact on the U.S. agriculture industry, according to a new report shared with FOX Business.
The report — published Wednesday by the free market think tank Buckeye Institute — is titled "Net-Zero Climate-Control Policies Will Fail the Farm" and outlines how farmers will see their operational costs rise by an estimated 34% as a result of net-zero ESG policies. While the report states its findings were "predictable and unsurprising," it added that U.S. policymakers seem "unwilling to address or even acknowledge them."
"Government climate-control policies ensconced in the Paris Climate Accords, the Inflation Reduction Act, and ESG-guided mandates carry a hefty price tag, especially for U.S. farms and the American consumer," wrote report authors Trevor Lewis and M. Ankith Reddy, who both serve as economic research analysts at The Buckeye Institute.
"Europe has tested many of these policies aggressively for years, and the results have been an unmitigated failure," they continued. "Despite these resounding warnings from European counterparts, U.S. policymakers have recommitted American industry to the same net-zero emissions standards and have imposed the same kinds of costly mandates on farms and businesses that will ultimately reduce food and energy supplies without achieving their intended benefits."

Overall, the prices of common grocery items, including American cheese, would increase 78%, beef would increase by 70%, rice would tick up 56%, chicken would see a 39% increase and eggs would be 36% more expensive. Foods that require more carbon-intensive processes to produce saw the largest uptick in prices.

Traitorous Demonicrats pile crisis on top of crisis (which they continue to generate in all of these categories) in order to ultimately demand that martial law (under their dictatorial control) is required to bring order to the selected (i.e., leftist) population.
It’ll be just like the old Soviet Union. The average person will see empty shelves, and just scrape by. The commissars, however, will eat well.
And who are the new commissars, you might ask. Here’s a partial list.
Al Gore
Greta Thunberg
John Kerry
Bill Gates
Onward the Green Revolution! (I guess)
Government climate-control policies = government thinks it’s God
Governments will Murder millions and the Climate/Weather will stay the same it’s always been
Starvation is a useful tool for Democrat scum.
same problems the French peasant were experiencing when some smart-alec said “let them eat cakes” and lost her head.
Well, when depopulation is the end goal anything is acceptable.
DELIBERATE, DELIBERATE, DELIBERATE! They are now talking about it in our face, depopulation agenda 21 now 30. When do we take this sh## seriously? when we are dropping in the streets?
It should not come as a surprise when proponents of ESG and DEI find themselves accident prone.
The extravagant lifestyles of the elites will not be effected at all by shortages and higher prices. They won’t even notice it and so they don’t care.

Five years, TWO HUNDRED and TEN days ago, Gretta quoted a “top climate scientist” on the extinction of humans. Now the “predictions” is for 7.09 years from now. The “scientists” have been moving the dates up 5 years or so at a time for over 50 years. In 1842 the Millerites were fooled twice and gave it up. After being fooled over and over and over, the present day man made climate change cultists still cling to the insanity.
All going according to plan as intended. The end goal is to have us literally eating each other to cull the species.
Maybe a bounty might help.
