Global Warming Update

As carbon dioxide makes up 0.028% of the earth’s atmosphere, 95% of carbon dioxide is generated by sources other than man, and at most we might be able to decrease our generation of this gas by perhaps 5%, all of this man-made Global Warming is about 0.00007% of the earth’s atmosphere.

I could tell that the heating of the earth is now accelerating, in accordance with Global Warming theory, as I drove through a snow storm yesterday. Wait, do you mean that the data actually shows that the earth is cooling? OK, let’s call it ‘Climate Change’. Or better yet:

CLIMATE CHAOS. I would like my grant money now please.

Set PPI = $1.53

5 lb Part Skim Mozzarella: $9.03 (a)
102 oz tomatoes: $2.63 (b)
25 lb flour: $9.78 (c)
720 Slice of Pepperoni: $8.32 (d)

Enter the PPI equation:

PPI = $0.01 + (a)/10 + ((b)/24)(2) + (c)/50 + (d)/40; or

PPI = $0.01 + $0.90 + $0.22 + $0.20 + $0.21; thus

Set PPI = $1.53, up from $1.52.

This is an all-time high since the PPI was established, but still lower than it was last summer. This data does not support the reports that prices dropped in March. In fact, it indicates the opposite. History:

07FEB: $1.52
13FEB: $1.47
02MAR: $1.45
14APR: $1.52

Set PPI = $1.52

5 lb Part Skim Mozzarella: $8.86 (a)
102 oz tomatoes: $2.63 (b)
25 lb flour: $9.78 (c)
720 Slice of Pepperoni: $8.32 (d)

Enter the PPI equation:

PPI = $0.01 + (a)/10 + ((b)/24)(2) + (c)/50 + (d)/40; or

PPI = $0.01 + $0.89 + $0.22 + $0.20 + $0.21; thus

Set PPI = $1.52, up from $1.45.

The PPI has returned to the level it was at when tracking first began, and is up 5% in a little over a month. History:

07FEB: $1.52
13FEB: $1.47
02MAR: $1.45
