I realize the usual suspects will tell us this is just a normal cycle and climate change doesn't exist. However this is a decent read on how the thing that doesn't exist impacts food prices, and ultimately inflation around the world.

Who says Climate Change doesn't exist? Your assertion diminishes the value of all that comes after it. It is called a "Strawman Argument", a form of propaganda. The real issue is Energy Crisis. We need adequate energy to combat the effects of Climate Change. We need energy to warm our homes against the ravages of winter when most people suffer and die the most. We need energy to create jobs, so people can earn a living and survive climate change. We need energy to produce adequate food to feed the world. That's the discussion we should be having.

Perhaps not you, but far too many here on RP have given me the normal cycle routine. I completely agree that energy is an important issue but might quibble on the combat cold part. I recall seeing something that heat kills more people than cold, but that's immaterial. Kind of a chicken or egg thing on Climate Change vs Energy IMO but guess we agree that both are intertwined.
Going back to a high school term paper decades ago I've been a proponent for all manners of increasing energy production, so I hear you.

SGT (Join to see) - Inasmuch as Solar and Wind are unreliable and will never be sustainable, we're left with nuclear for electrical generation and, of course, we'll always need fossil fuels for all sorts of purposes that nothing else can replace.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs a bill that strikes climate change from state law
Under the new law, climate change will largely disappear from state statutes. Critics say the move ignores the risks of climate change facing Florida, including rising seas, flooding and extreme heat.

Of course the climate changes, it always has, Ice sheets come ice sheets go. Glaciers once slammed into the Rocky Mountains in Montana creating massive lakes . The ice damns would break and send massive flooding across Idaho into Washington. At one point Patagonia was in Antarctica when the Antarctic was tropical. The question is, Is the current climate change a natural change or generated by man.
