No, New York Times, Climate Change Isn't Driving Inflation
Authored by Anthony Watts via ClimateRealism.com,
In The New York Times (NYT) article “Is Climate Change Making Inflation Worse?,” writer Lydia DePillis suggests that extreme weather linked to global warming is quietly raising the price of everyday goods like food, electricity, and insurance.
The framing is, at best, misleading and, at worst, flat-out false. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon driven by fiscal policy, central banking decisions, supply-chain disruptions, and energy policy choices — there is no evidence climate change has altered in a way that impacts any of those factors. The NYT erroneously substitutes weather anecdotes and speculative projections for demonstrated economic causation. However, since instances of extreme weather haven't become more frequent or severe in recent decades, climate change can't be causing “inflationary” impacts.

"We Have An Emergency": Newsom's Climate Obsession Could Wreak Havoc California's Oil Industry
The oil-and-gas industry is sounding the alarm over a tightening of California's cap-and-invest program, warning that stricter emissions caps could drive up gasoline prices and jeopardize the viability of in-state refining.
The California Air Resources Board is advancing amendments to the cap-and-invest framework, a market-based mechanism requiring major emitters to purchase allowances for greenhouse-gas emissions, that would significantly reduce the supply of available credits and accelerate reduction targets through 2030, according to the New York Post. The program, extended through 2045 last year, generates revenue through quarterly auctions that has helped fund state priorities, including the beleaguered high-speed rail initiative.
Andy Walz, president of Chevron's downstream, midstream and chemicals division, told KCRA in an interview this week that the forthcoming board vote on th...
