We need to act now to counter "climate flation" where companies use the #climatecrisis as an excuse to drive up prices. Farmers need fair prices. Gov'ts must ensure prices cover the cost of production. 👩🌾🌍

Yep, a stealth heat tax. Also known as climate-flation, or the steadily rising costs of climate impacts. Talk to everyone you know about this and fossil-flation, the steadily rising costs of our dependency on fossil fuels, and you have the beginnings of a new kind of economic populism.
Temperature changes alone cut US incomes by 12%, between 2000-2019, per a new study - on top of disaster and insurance losses.

💸 Research suggests climate food price inflation of 0.9-3% every year by 2035 we've already seen climate-flation in UK food bills 🧵
