The Department of Agriculture has suppressed over 1,400 studies on climate change as part of the Trump administration's broad anti-science agenda.
The Trump administration has systematically suppressed and minimized the results of over 1,400 studies related to climate change at the Department of Agriculture, according to new information released Thursday by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).
"The trove of studies by USDA researchers carry warnings about climate change that the government is largely not communicating to farmers and ranchers or the public," Politico reported. "The list published includes research showing that climate change is likely to drive down yields for some crops, harm milk production, and lead to a drop in nutrient density for key crops like rice and wheat."
Stabenow, ranking member of the Senate's Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, held a press conference Thursday to discuss the findings.
"These studies show how climate change is affecting crop production, disrupting how food is grown and increasing risk to communities," she said.
