Natural gas is also in short. Meanwhile, Putin has been gradually reducing the supply of natural gas to Western Europe. But a looming energy shortage isn't the only coming manmade fiasco. Food shortages and in some cases famine will emerge this fall. It could also trigger global migration crisis. Freezing in the dark while starving is not a description anyone should take lightly. James Rickards feels that it was all avoidable.

THE FED VS. THE ECONOMY - The idea that the Fed can squash inflation without squashing the economy is false.
There are two major sources of inflation. There's the supply side and there's the demand side. Either one of them can drive inflation, but they're very, very different in terms of how they work. Raising interest rates has no impact on the supply side shortages we're seeing. And that's where the inflation's coming from. Since the Fed has misdiagnosed the disease, they are applying the wrong medicine. Tight money won't solve a supply shock. Until the supply shortages are fixed, higher prices will continue, says Jim Rickards.
