Emeritus Prof Christopher May

As Heather Stewart concludes:

'Food price shocks are only one aspect of the climate crisis, but their growing frequency is a warning sign that we are entering a new, more volatile era, with a policy toolkit created in calmer times'!

But perhaps once the link is made between food price inflation & (not wages as the BoE would want to argue), but climate change, then a wider appreciation of the actions needed to tackle the climate crisis will be clearer!

The Guardian · Wake up and smell the coffee: rising food prices show destabilising impact of climate crisisBy Heather Stewart

@ChrisMayLA6 you'd have thought so but the powerful controllers, essentially financial establishments around the globe, know their wealth and power depends on the false link between wages for the moderately wealthy and inflation being maintained. This enables them to suppress middle class wages whilst their own get inflated at ever higher rates.
