Nutritional value of rice goes down as CO2 goes up. That was EXACTLY what pissed off Trump, a climate change denier, change caused by humans burning fossil fuels, the scientists at the USDA showed that effect YEARS ago but rather than say, asking the scientists if there was anything that could be done, DNA research or whatever, he kills the messenger so now there is no Science unit in the USDA.
Given the choice of transferring to another city a thousand miles away, notably with NO science lab at all, most of them said FUUK YOU ASSSHOLE, we quit.

And now the news comes out anyway in spite of the suppression of science by Trump.


The world is seriously fvcked.

It was Trump punishing anyone who believed climate change is happening and caused by mankind burning fossil fuels.
