‘Climate Change’ Will Soon Hit Your Wallet Or Something

Is this a case of the climate cult doing what they always do, involving their cult in any and every issue, or the cult, made up mostly of Democrat voters, attempting to blame-shift away from Biden and Democratic Party policies? Or both?

Climate Change Is About To Hit Your Wallet at the Grocery Store

Inflation can result from demand outpacing supply. Other times, increased labor costs force businesses to raise prices so they can pay their employees more.

But in certain sections of the grocery store, Mother Nature and her human antagonists are to blame for the sticker shock that many shoppers should prepare to endure.

“Increased temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns caused by climate change can result in more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and heat waves,” said Eran Mizrahi, an ingredient sourcing expert and CEO and co-founder of Ingredient Brothers. “Such extreme weather conditions can harm crops and reduce their yields, leading to shortages in the supply chain, which ultimately drive up prices for consumers. Furthermore, transportation and distribution channels become disrupted by extreme weather events, resulting in additional cost increases. The result creates a financial burden on households, especially those with limited resources.”

Weather has always been volatile. Things can always happen. That’s life on Earth. Was it the fault of fossil fueled vehicles when you had the big drought in the heartland back in the 1930s? Or, just that weather happens, things change, and sometimes they are bad? What about the big droughts and poor conditions during the Little Ice Age that led to the French Revolution, where it was difficult to grow crops, especially wheat? The big Irish potato famine, which occurred right as the Earth was flipping from a cool period to a warm period in the mid-1800s?

The Climate Crisis Is Crushing California and Its Farmers

Americans learned a new phrase from their meteorologists in recent months, and one that defines the extremes that now define California’s climate — “atmospheric river.” Devastating and extended droughts dried up reservoirs across the West and Southwest for much of the 2020s and threatened the very existence of the Colorado River that millions of Westerners depend on for water.

Then, in early 2023, atmospheric rivers transformed extreme drought into devastating floods and the largest snowpacks in 70 years. The water planners farmers depend on for guidance couldn’t make accurate predictions and the spring planting season was cold and wet.

California is a state that has always been prone to big flips in the decedal weather, and, really, the problems are magnified tremendously due to poor government. But, you know, there’s just eventually going to be shortages which will hit your wallets, so, give your money and freedom to government.

NYC skyscrapers turning to carbon capture to lessen climate change

From the outside, the residential high-rise on Manhattan’s Upper West Side looks pretty much like any other luxury building: A doorman greets visitors in a spacious lobby adorned with tapestry and marble.

Yet just below in the basement is an unusual set of equipment that no other building in New York City — indeed few in the world — can claim. In an effort to drastically reduce the 30-story building’s emissions, the owners have installed a maze of twisting pipes and tanks that collect carbon dioxide from the massive, gas-fired boilers in the basement before it goes to the chimney and is released into the air.

The goal is to stop that climate-warming gas from entering the atmosphere. And there’s a dire need for reducing emissions from skyscrapers like these in such a vertical city. Buildings are by far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions here, roughly two-thirds, according to the city buildings department.

Local Law 97 is creating these conditions, and affecting vast swaths of NYC buildings. Which means the cost of leasing, whether business or residential, will go up to pay for this, and you already have a lot of businesses leaving the city for a variety of reasons. So, good luck with that tax base.
