Was 2018 a low year? That might be about the time I remember bread going up from 35p to 45p a loaf in a fairly short timeframe but it dropped a bit after a while. Its 55p now but some of that might just be general inflation and I don’t buy bread as much anymore.

Also Russia is having a massive fuel crisis, so I doubt they will be able to harvest even close to what they used to.

Still an under-reaction. The next years will be absolutely brutal. Supply chain disprutions due to blockages, destroyed refineries, heat waves already disrupting crop yields and a looming, ungodly (h)el(l) nino picking up steam? Buckle up.

We may not experience extreme events like an AMOC collapse, but widespread hunger is definitely in range of our current lifetimes. Heat deaths already are will get worse.
