I wonder if the cost of buying food more than doubling in the past five years, while wages have been behind inflation for 40 years has anything to do with this

Given that these are month-on-month figures, no.

Which definitely have no relation to the overarching worldwide impacts of climate change, multiple wars and the multiple cost of living crises that are ongoing. At alllll.

Factors which remain the same from month to month (like climate change, ongoing wars, and cost-of-living crises) necessarily have similar impacts on those different months. Therefore if there’s a different impact - in this case seen in volume of goods sold - then that must be due to things that are different between those two month. Surely you agree with that?
worldwide impacts of climate change, multiple wars
You didn’t mention these in your first comment.

If you didn’t see the link between the cost of everything increasing rapidly this past decade and the climate of the world that we live in, both environmental and geopolitical, thats kinda understandable, but I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make in terms of them being month on month, as if that separates them from the rest of the year that has led up to those months.

I hope you forgot your /s.
In the past I would have said this is obviously sarcasm, but there’s too many open and confident bigots now to be sure these days. Even on anarchist servers like dbzer0
