I think the author is just distracting himself with small things because he or she is too afraid or lazy to look at the big thing. This person is like a sleepwalker who does not realise that he is stepping off a cliff. There are people who cannot be bothered to think about issues that face us all and imagine that nothing will happen to them. They don't want to change or to take responsibility for the consequences of not changing their habits. They also don't seem to realise that they might lose everything if they don't change their habits. The only way to preserve their standard of living is to change the way it is achieved. That is what sustainability is all about.

Increases in the price of foods are also related to increases in the price of fuel, and this is because more crops are being used to produce ethanol. Climate change is the cause of extreme weather, and the farm that used to provide your foodstuffs could be affected badly by unexpectedly heavy downpours. The impacts of climate change will be locally felt. If you don’t realise this, then it will be even more dangerous.

Inflation is on the rise, making it kind of difficult to live our lives. Climate change? We are distracted to think about it now.
