Last Saturday, Kalliope Bell posted a picture of her California state lottery ticket on social media. “Well, we didn’t win again tonight,” she wrote. “So that means no more eggs.”
Global warming has left clearer fingerprints on other food shocks. In November, romaine and other lettuces briefly vanished from Ontario grocery stores in large part due to California’s mega-drought. The price of beef jumped last year because droughts forced ranchers to buy feed instead of letting cattle graze freely.
Soon after, federal officials said they had detected H5N1 in gulls from the area. By spring, the virus was ripping through poultry and egg farms, backyard flocks, and — unusually — wild bird populations. The strain has a 90 to 100 per cent mortality rate in chickens. The current avian flu outbreak is unprecedented both because of its breadth — it has criss-crossed the country at least twice, Sharif says — and because it is causing mass mortality events in wild birds. Biologists in Peru have reported 13,000 seabird deaths including beaches littered with thousands of dead pelicans. At least 50 bald eagles have died in Canada, according to a federal database.
Sharif stresses that it’s impossible to know if climate change played a role in the emergence of this outbreak. Other researchers have said that more research is needed to understand the interplay between global warming and avian flu. As most Canadians know from the news or their credit card statements, food inflation has been even worse than the already painful general “core” inflation rates. In December, while the annual rate of inflation was 6.3 per cent, falling for the fourth time in five months, food inflation remained higher than that “headline” number for the 13th straight month, at 11 per cent.
Climate change? Of course.
It's because of the unvaccinated
So the gov't kills a bunch of chickens and it's cause of climate change? LMAO
More pure lies by the highest tax funded liberal regime propagandists
is pure 💩. Signed 🇨🇦
Yes, every nasty bacteria or virus is the result of climate change. Except the scourge of the Groper Trudeau Liberal cult
ClimateScam brought to you by government propaganda agency. TrudeauNext
Chickens hate nice weather.
A real scientist would believe nothing of the sort. Just more left wing propaganda used as click bait from the Liberal Rag
When you pack chickens into a house like this, I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. This is not how chickens are raised.
Bullshit, when you overpopulate animals in small places this is what you get, and as the world's population grows, it is happening to us as well, everything is blamed on climate change instead of over breading.
Science doesn’t care how they FEEL. propoganda
It has nothing to do with climate change. It has everything to do with mass industrial farming that has attempted to monopolize the chicken industry. Propaganda nonsense right here
Bullshit!
Correlation is not causation But in clown world climate change it is And related news flatulence is causing global warming
Oh sure
Right...nothing to do with the farm conditions in which the birds are raised...may as well blame gas stoves, unvaccinated and racism to round out the entire groups of narratives
I guess the rag has never been to the dairy section lately
It's actually sad that we literally don't produce anything in Canada..how do we not have enough eggs for our own country? They literally raise themselves. We have so much land we can build greenhouses anywhere. Make it make sense
