Hello from Puglia, Italy, where a third of the region’s olive trees – which once produced almost half of Italy’s olive oil – have died of novel disease. A destabilised climate stresses plants and animals, as well as making it easier for some diseases to spread. Prices rise as a result. The implications are multiple: on the production side, it requires agricultural adaptation, on the consumption side it requires reducing inequality. Action on emissions and drawdown are also important but it's only a specialist and economically privileged profession that would emphasise that without the other responses. As such, it doesn't connect enough with the general public, despite general awareness of a problem. #ecoinflation #climflation theguardian.com/environment/…
