They note that in addition to advances in climate fingerprinting, global warming has also advanced: The post-2009 period included the 10 warmest years in instrumental surface temperature records, enhancing the signal of human-caused warming relative to the "noise" of natural variability. https://phys.org/news/2026-10-climate-fingerprints-reveal-stronger-evidence.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#food Global prices for rice, sugar, cotton, and pulses are surging due to severe climate shocks, reduced production forecasts in major growing regions, and soaring shipping costs, adding to worldwide inflationary pressures Rice prices have hit two-year highs, pressured by tight supplies and rising logistical expenses, with container costs surging from $5,000 to nearly $55,000 https://www.cnbctv18.com/market/commodities/global-agricultural-commodity-prices-rice-sugar-cotton-pulses-surge-alpha-article-20009693.htm/amp #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

However, asset holders and rentiers do face an economic threat from the phaseout of fossil fuels, and for the fossil fuel industry itself, that threat is existential https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/liberals-cant-address-the-climate-crisis-because-it-means-confronting-capitalism #ClimateChange
