[Producer prices rose 1 percent in January]( The Labor Department reported Tuesday that producer prices rose by a seasonally adjusted 1 percent in January, up from a 0.4 percent increase in December. The increase, the biggest jump since May 2021, came as a coronavirus surge driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant extended supply-chain disruptions as consumer demand remained strong, according to economists. Producer prices increased by 9.7 percent over the preceding year, about the same increase as the government reported the previous month. "Overall, producer prices remain elevated and close to historic highs," said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. The new data added support for the Federal Reserve to roll back its efforts to boost the recovery to keep the economy from overheating.

[Remington agrees to $73 million settlement with Sandy Hook families]( Remington Arms has agreed to pay families of five adults and four children killed in the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School [$73 million to settle their liability claims]( according to a Tuesday court filing. Remington made the semiautomatic Bushmaster XM15-E25 rifle that Adam Lanza, 20, used to kill 20 first-graders and six staff members at the Newtown, Connecticut, school. The settlement marked the first time a gun maker has been held liable for a U.S. mass shooting. "Marketing weapons of war directly to young people known to have a strong fascination with firearms is reckless and, as too many families know, deadly conduct," Nicole Hockley, whose son, Dylan, was killed in the shooting, said in a statement.

[NOAA: Sea level rise to make infrastructure-damaging floods 10 times more common]( Sea levels along the U.S. shoreline will rise by 10 to 12 inches on average by 2050 due to climate change, regardless of the impact of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) projected in a report on Tuesday. The rise will equal sea level changes seen over the last century, and make coastal floods that have damaged infrastructure more than 10 times as frequent over the next three decades, Nicole LeBoeuf, director of NOAA's National Ocean Service, said in a summary of the report. "I can tell you with complete confidence that these are not the kind of changes that we grew up with," said LeBoeuf, a native of the Texas Gulf Coast.
