On Thursday, CNN hosts Poppy Harlow and Boris Sanchez blamed climate change for the recent surge in gas prices with the former saying that the surge in prices is a reason “to get it in check when it comes to climate change.”
On “CNN This Morning,” CNN Chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans stated, “There [are] a couple of things happening here: They’re still well below last year. Last year, at this time, we were hitting record highs, right? $4.30, last year, at this time, today, they’re $3.71. They’ve been jumping overnight. Some of these jumps have been pretty big. One of the reasons is the incessant heat means these refineries have to — are going offline for maintenance, they can’t run full throttle when it’s 115 with the heat index, just like people can’t work full throttle outside or on factory floors when it’s so, so hot. So, that’s one of the reasons. The other reason is, Russia backed out of this grain deal. And so, you had a rise in all kinds of commodity prices, corn, wheat, barley, all these prices have been going up. And sometimes, you tend to see commodities move together. But mostly, this heat thing has some of these refineries either slowing down or offline for maintenance. And that means they’re not processing as much gasoline.

Yes, but “inflation is down,” don’t you know.
What a bunch of bald-faced liars.
Gas prices jump when someone sneezes. Any excuse at all.
In order to understand the scam of climate change you have to be aware of how religions work and how they amass wealth and power. The climate change nutjobs have a religion wrapped in pseudoscience.
Precisely !
the way to end climate change is to eliminate the climate changers
The name ‘Poppy Harlow’ sounds like a good name for a buffoonish cartoon character or dimwitted detective.
Gas prices spike from the gummit regs due to the Climate Hoax.
According to experts, climate change was responsible for Hunter Biden smoking crack with prostitutes.
Climate change is responsible for everything that is perceived bad - it’s political mind game manipulation.
CNN needs to hire someone educated in understanding correlation and causation; not that either are particularly useful in what they’re attempting to sell here.
We need to stop referring to CNN, Fox, and MSNBC as ‘the news’.
LOL! Yup. So what will it be CNN? Hot weather causes gas prices to jump? Or hot weather causes "inflation to go down"?
Hey CNN, there were two ice ages that we know of. What warmed the Earth between them? No coal-fired plants and no SUVs back then. Could it be the cycle of climate? Hmmmm just maybe.
By climate change they are referencing official government policy designed to appropriate money from average Americans for the benefit of the DS, crooked politicians, crooked NGOs, and basic civilian control measures. By that definition then yes of course it’s all climate change caused.
The legacy propaganda outlets are turning it on high today.
The economy, gas prices, anything, everything, they aren’t the fault of Biden. Oh no. It is because it is hot out. The weather is to blame.
The age of insanity continues.
There is a concerted, well funded effort to decrease demand... so by climate warriors succeeding , the price goes up. Its not rising because we NEED more climate activism- because the more you force people out of the oil market , the higher the prices will go. Oil companies arent going to go quietly into that good night.
Never mind that OPEC is cutting production to get the price up , CNN is so useless
Didn’t the Saudi’s reduce oil production by 1 mbd about a month ago? It takes time for those kinds of cuts to work there way through the system and affect inventories enough to matter.
IMHO, they need to start piss testing the chimps at CNN.
We wouldn’t know the truth if there was NO FReeRepublic
