Report: Farm, Food Prices Rise Under Net-Zero Climate Rules

Farms and families will pay significantly more under the Biden administration’s net-zero climate policies, a new report from an Ohio-based policy group says.

The Buckeye Institute’s Net-Zero Climate-Control Policies Will Fail the Farm shows farmers will see a 34% rise in operational costs under the policies and family grocery bills will increase 15% based on modeling.

“Federal policymakers are pursuing expensive climate-control and emissions policies that have largely failed in Europe – and the American farm and household will be required to pay for them,” report authors Trevor W. Lewis and M. Ankith Reddy, both economic research analysts at The Buckeye Institute, said.

  1. So, lemme get this straight. A fuckin' think tank in Ohio, that calls themselves "an independent research and educational institution", and whose stated mission is "...to advance free-market..." has a fuckin' "policy" that's going to make our groceries cost 15% more than the current mismanagement specialists at the FED and the globalist elite assholes running the country have already bumped up at least 25% over the last 3 fuckin' years through food processing plant arson, build back better and inflation?

    Do I have that pretty much right?

    1. No, your reading comprehension is lacking. They are suggesting that the useless (on the climate front) policies are going to increase the cost of farming by 35% but only increase the consumer cost of grocieries by 15%. If I were farmers, I'd make those two percentages the same.

    2. Due to words missing from the article, you have to mentally leapfrog in order to have the article to make sense.

      It is the current state of 'journalism'. The onus is on the resder to fill in the blanks left by the, ahem, professional writer.

    4. "...increase the cost of farming by 35% but only increase the consumer cost of grocieries by 15%."

  2. This all makes more sense when you stop assuming food insecurity is an unintended consequences of these laws. Rather food insecurity is the primary purpose. They want us dead, but will accept us enslaved eating bugs and serving their every whim.

  3. That’s the hardest thing to convince these people…
    that their promised utopia is actually a living hell, and life has no value. Pardon me for not wanting to go along with the plan… even a little bit.

  4. I would guess the difference in percentage, 35% farmer cost vs. 15% consumer cost reflects the percentage that the actual farm product is of the item you buy. Ie., a $5 box of cereal only has .50 cents worth of grain in it.
