Extreme Weather Drives Global Food Price Spike
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on new research from the Barcelona Supercomputer Center linking climate change to rising global food prices. The study, led by Dr. Maximilian Kaas, identified 16 recent food price spikes caused by extreme weather events such as droughts and heavy rains. McIntyre notes this trend is already visible in the U.S., where CPI data shows much of the recent inflation comes from food price increases.
