Climate Change Is Driving Inflation Via Food Prices

David Callaway and Douglas McIntyre, Editors-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discussed how climate change is fueling inflation in the U.S. despite official claims that inflation is easing. Callaway pointed to skyrocketing prices in beef, chocolate, and cocoa as climate-driven, while McIntyre noted that fruits and vegetables are also sharply affected. Both highlighted the irony of declaring inflation “gone” while climate impacts continue to drive up food costs.
