America has scientists that are leading the world in climate research and Trump is ignoring their work at the USDA. Trump's Agriculture Department is actually burring studies showing the dangers of climate change. It was 90 degrees in Alaska yesterday that should never happen. An April 2018 finding that elevated CO2 levels lead to "substantial and persistent" declines in the quality of certain prairie grasses that are important for raising cattle. Now we all know that Trump had a failed bankrupt steak business but must he be allowed to ruin America's good cattle business?
The protein content in the grass drops as photosynthesis kicks into high gear due to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is a trend that could pose health problems for the animals and cost ranchers money. They found that climate change was likely to increase agricultural pollution and nutrient runoff in the Lower Mississippi River Delta. Certain conservative practices, including not tilling soil and planting cover crops, would help farmers more than compensate and bring down pollutant loads. Why isn't Trump disclosing this valuable information from our nation's scientists?
A July 2018 finding that coffee, which is already being affected by climate change, can potentially help scientists figure out how to evaluate and respond to the complex interactions between plants an, pests and a changing environment. We see the change in all the flash flooding all over the country destroying our infrastructure and towns.
Even if this information is not on your radar at least look at rice that the USDA found that climate change threatens nutrients in rice. More than 6 hundred million folks get more than half their calories and protein from rice. They found that rice loses vitamins in a carbon-rich environment. That is a potentially serious health concern for the 600 million people world-wide whose diet consists mostly of rice. The Trump administration decided NOT to release these findings to the press. Why is he stopping this information from being used to help the planet? The United Stated has always been known as the leader in science and research. It's not like they are working on something that is esoteric, for a select few to know about. They are working on something that has dire consequences for the entire planet. We all know that Trump likes to serve folks unhealthy hamburgers and fries but must he put the planet's nutritional needs in jeopardy too? You can only postpone reality for so long.
Politics aside, folks we all only have one earth and we all should be doing whatever we can to stop CO2 emissions. PERIOD.
