European Central Bank Chief Blames Climate-Change For Red-Hot Inflation
Authored by Katabella Roberts via The Epoch Times,
The Chief of the European Central Bank (ECB) has said that climate change is behind soaring inflation, stating that droughts and famines are driving up prices.
ECB Chief Christine Lagarde made the comments in an interview with the French outlet Madame Figaro, on July 13. An English translation of the interview was published on Aug. 25.
Lagarde said that more climate disasters could see prices rise even further.
“If more and more climate disasters, droughts, and famines occur throughout the world, there will be repercussions on prices, on insurance premiums, and on the financial sector,” Lagarde said.
“We need to take that into account.”
Soaring Inflation
Lagarde’s comments come as inflation has soared across Europe as households have to fork out more for food and energy. Meanwhile, price increases continue to outpace the average rate of wage increases.
The European Union continues to push for a climate change agenda while simultaneously trying to reduce its dependence on Russian gas in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine, despite there being increased energy demand amid a soaring hot summer and limited supplies.
As a result, gas prices have drastically risen in the EU in recent months and show no sign of slowing down. More pain is set to come when the vital Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline that connects western Russia and Germany shuts down for three days of “routine maintenance” at the end of this month.
Elsewhere on Thursday, Lagarde was asked if she feels “any weight of the responsibility” that her decisions have had on the lives of Europeans.
“Yes, absolutely. I still buy my groceries at the supermarket, pay my own bills, including my gas bills, and meet people at the market, as life here at the ECB can be a little removed, disconnected, and punctuated with econometric models and projections. I move forwards with a sense of duty and humility,” she responded.

Nice little Ukie flag she is wearing on her lapel. Maybe if she looked at herself in the mirror…oh nevermind.
Try this one for some truth bombs. But the money shot is the last paragraph. That’s what is going on right now.
Here, I will quote it for people to lazy to read a short concise article.
I don’t think they’ll actually be “buying” the assets at that stage. Remember, this has all been done many times before.
We are in the midst of a global system wide fleecing operation.
The Pandemic was meant to crush small business.
The War in Ukraine was designed to bury the working class.
And the coming Climate Emergency is meant to shut agriculture…
I know that I’m the Johnny come lately to this conversation, however after reading your comment, some words they did come to my mind, and so, thought to share them with you.
NB, these words are not mine, but methinks they serve and promote an understanding. Addiction of all forms are a blight(er)s. Governments here to promote Justice, Truth, Experts, Banks, and Trust
( Superman changes motto to ‘Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow,’ says DC chief, The Man of Steel’s motto will be “evolving” from the well-known mantra that he fights for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”) are demonstrable lies, at best a placebo, no… an opiate. Better, a tincture of opium.
——
There were three men came out of the West
Their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn must die
They’ve ploughed, they’ve sown, they’ve harrowed him in
Threw clods upon his head
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Barleycorn was dead
They’ve let him lie for a very long time
Till the rains from heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprung up his head
And so amazed them all
They’ve let him stand till Midsummer’s Day
Till he looked both pale and wan
And little Sir John’s grown a long, long beard
And so become a man
They’ve hired men with the scythes so sharp
To cut him off at the knee
They’ve rolled him and tied him by the way
Serving him most barbarously
They’ve hired men with the sharp pitchforks
Who pricked him to the heart
And the loader he has served him worse than that
For he’s bound him to the cart
They’ve wheeled him around and around the field
Till they came unto a barn
And there they made a solemn oath
On poor John Barleycorn
They’ve hired men with the crab-tree sticks
To cut him skin from bone
And the miller he has served him worse than that
For he’s ground him between two stones
And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl
And his brandy in the glass;
And little Sir John and the nut-brown bowl
Proved the strongest man at last
The huntsman, he can’t hunt the fox
Nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker he can’t mend kettle nor pot
Without a little Barleycorn
John Barleycorn (Must Die) Lyrics, Traffic
Lagarde is disgusting!
She looks like skeleton with skin still on the bones.
Maybe that is the reason she is the position.
The powers that be with the powers of suggestion, who knows!
Putting this video here.
It could be posted as a stand alone.
A little bit off topic, I suppose.

The video above is a cautionary tale of what happens
when reason gets set aside
And feelings and emotions take hold.
That was one of the foundational planks in the global takeover- feminize the population into accepting emotional responses as if they were equal to rational ones. 19th amendment and all that jazz.
Once that hurdle was crossed it was all downhill.
Now we reap the whirlwind.
.. of those seeds sown.
I was having a conversation with my son yesterday about the state of things and in your sentiment he echoed . The current paradigm revolves around baking in an emotional response that makes people fragile.
The Christine Lagardes fashion themselves the Judge
The woke mob has been stood up as the jury…
Call the schoolmaster
This will not do!
Build Back Better was never
About stuff floating in the ether
It was done with the intent
to break the human spirit
Build them up better
and break then down again…

Awesome video. It’s the same everywhere. 100% propaganda is the media norm. I am a bit surprised she believed her own eyes. Lots of brainwashed people do not believe what their own eyes and ears show them.
The thing most telling is how broken she was mentally.
Yes. So eye opening I had to see/listen twice.
Admin: this is a must post.
Yes. This is outstanding and important.
Went back and gave it a watch based on your commentary, AKJ.
Hi RiNS, don’t see you here too much anymore. Good to see you still commenting.
Thanks MC
I do appreciate the sentiment.
I’m still around, still lurk and would like to be commenting more. For now though I have to budget my time on internet in evenings because the wife and I are in between houses and there is a data cap to deal with at the end of every month.
We did get good news today that soon the house will get underway then things will change. Once things settle down I should be back to the regular routine and back here in the swing of things. It is all good.
In the meantime, I’m just taking it easy
Seneca wrote this on very long time ago.. he’d probably like the Eagles
This is one of his quotes and I used it for today.
So glad that you took the time to write what you wrote.
Take it easy Mary Christine!
It was a good video, RiNS. Thanks for posting.
You ever hear of Ray Wylie Hubbard? Never mind I hadn’t either until my cousin shared this song. It’s the end quote in the song I try to remember.
Bug faced globalist bitch
Demonic Evil Fucker tool.
With all my hate,
Auntie
Does bankruptcy court now accept climate change as a valid reason for insolvency? Axing for a friend.
Bonus point for “axing”.
Cricket protein is the future….reeeeeeee
Who knew the weather makes governments spend and print like there’s no tomorrow.
A little early for planning Halloween but I’m going as lagaurd. That should scare the crap out of everybody.
Nope, the cause is printing money.
Neil Oliver, As the Elites Pivot Away from COVID, Now, Right Now, is the Time to Confront the Other Stuff
I’m hearing a lot of people, desperate and hopeful that the whole truth will finally come out, saying things like, “the narrative is finally falling apart.”
It might be and it might not. But the Covid and lockdown double-act is expendable. They’ve wrung all the juice they’re ever going to get out of that rotten fruit and now it’s ready to be cast aside. Or maybe it will just go on the back burner while other, fresher concoctions are brought forward. Either way, someone, somewhere seems to have decided it’s time to move on.
Just don’t be fooled into thinking that stuff about saving Granny and the NHS was ever the point, far less the main event. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again:
“It’s never about what they say it’s about.”
it’s climate change, not unbridled ‘money’ printing. got it, which, by that, i mean i get it how stupid, or how big a liar, that woman is. my money is on LIAR.
We knew that Christine was a crook, but we didn’t know that she was quite this retarded…But it’s all a script…
Legarde is a euro socialist upper elite parasite
She can play the Just plan folk buying groceries etc … BUT from a bank account that will never dry up as extracted wealth form others keep it full while she talks leftist nonsense from a limo !
Is she ET’s mom?
The entire climate change argument is proof positive of just how stupid and gullible the vast majority of people really are.
Co2 does not cause warmer temperatures. Warmer temperatures cause Co2.
If you do not understand that you do not understand the first thing about this issue.
There is no way in hell, Co2 can or will ever cause global warming because it is a result of climate and not a cause of change.
The #1 producer of C02 on the planet is the oceans. When the oceans warm they produce more C02, and when they cool they absorb C02.
The only thing that changes temperature on the earth is the sun and its natural cycles.
Screw that ugly bitch. Physignomy, right Scrabble? Just look at her. Might be a HIM.
Might want other pronouns, too.
Look.
She’s WEF and Davos connected, running the IMF. A whore for the R&R’s. Sold her soul. Evil.
Fix the money (tie it to gold prices), and quit printing, and inflation will subside eventually.
Climate manipulation (chemtrails, anyone?) is no reason to fleece more people and small businesses out of even more stolen money to pad the pockets and bank accounts of the 1 %.
Carbon credits are simply one giant scam, theft, and utter bullshit.
Turn in your personal Gulfstreams and downsize from your 12 bedroom McMansions, fuckers.
So is the whole Green agenda BS, with windmills, solar, electric cars,
and punishment of any of the fossil fuel businesses and infrastructure is a foolish policy. Abandon it.
Nothing works better and is more cost effective than oil, gasoline, and diesel for fuel, you idiots.
Restart nuclear power generation. Are you freezing your asses off yet, Germany? Stupid bastards.
Rescind ALL of Bill Gates’ farmland purchases, and stop screwing independent farmers.
Lift the sanctions on Russia, apologize, and ask Vlad to kindly resume fertilizer shipments.
Stop sending money to Ukraine. Western Ukraine is corrupt and Zelensky needs to go. Fuck him.
Find out who TF is behind the 100+ food supplier businesses that have suffered mysterious? fires, explosions, and stop killing thousands of poultry stock, because one critter has Avian Flu.
That’s another coordinated order by some evil pricks from on high, to starve us, and drive food
prices even higher. Paying attention yet? Forget sportsball, celebrities, and politicians.
Screw them and anybody that fawns all over them.
I’m not eating grasshoppers, mealworms, crickets, or any other creepy crawly flying thing that is a pest to humans, yet makes fine fish food.
IF you downvote this, or all of it sounds like a conspiracy theory to you, then you’re a fucking moron,
who has your head up your ass, and you are too obedient to people in authority, who you tend to believe have your greater good in mind behind their motives.
Like Carlin said, they don’t give a shit about you.
Wake up.
Stock up…on dry goods and canned / jarred food items.
Stock a fish pond, if possible.
Raise chickens for eggs and …ah, fuck it. You know the drill, if you’ve been reading here consistently.
People like Christine Legard and Klaus Schwab need elimination. The sooner, the better.
end of rant.
is lagarde uglier than ruth bader ginsberg?
please allow for the fact that lagarde is a man.
