The strain that rising global temperatures could have on the agriculture industry will likely cause food prices around the world to inflate even more.

The strain that rising global temperatures could have on on the agriculture industry and inflation around the world will likely cause food prices to increase even more, according to new research.Changes in average monthly temperatures have the strongest and most consistent correlation to productivity and inflation figures, according to a paper published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment on Thursday.

Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany looked at historical food prices in different categories of food goods across countries around the world to explore how fluctuations in different climatic conditions have historically impacted food inflation as well as the implications of future climate change, Max Kotz, lead author of the study, told ABC News.

        They do it while we speak, and people thankfully drink it in.

        Our species isn’t Homo sapiens but Homo obtusus, or Homo megalomanicus. The denial, delusion and stupidity are proof how mankind is full of sh*t and deserves to be significantly decimated or become extinct.

          There were always those tenancies, but after the patriarchal religions came with the permanent of death for everything, especially heresy, they grew unfettered by reason, compassion, or anything else. Perhaps the ridiculous IVF ruling in Alabama is in hopes that eventually, only the human phallus is necessary for breeding more humans.

            The thing is:

            Plenty of _women_ are just as fascist, racist, corrupt, reckless, narcissist, you name it, as men are - and not less misogynistic.

            It’s madening (well, at least it makes _me_ angry) but it’s a fight good (or at least less bad) vs evil/toxic people.

              Absolutely. They are benefitting, or hope to benefit, by being “one of the good ones,” at the least, or having some degree of power and/or wealth (psychological, attentional, permissions, if not fiscal) over others.
