The Trump administration has refused to publicize dozens of government-funded studies that carry warnings about the effects of climate change, defying a longstanding practice of touting such findings by the Agriculture Department’s acclaimed in-house scientists.
“The intent is to try to suppress a message — in this case, the increasing danger of human-caused climate change,” said Michael Mann, a leading climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University. “Who loses out? The people, who are already suffering the impacts of sea level rise and unprecedented super storms, droughts, wildfires and heat waves.”
However, a POLITICO investigation revealed a persistent pattern in which the Trump administration refused to draw attention to findings that show the potential dangers and consequences of climate change, covering dozens of separate studies. The administration’s moves flout decades of department practice of promoting its research in the spirit of educating farmers and consumers around the world, according to an analysis of USDA communications under previous administrations.
Researchers at the University of Washington had collaborated with scientists at USDA, as well as others in Japan, China and Australia, for more than two years to study how rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could affect rice — humanity’s most important crop. They found that it not only loses protein and minerals, but is also likely to lose key vitamins as plants adapt to a changing environment.
Researchers say the failure to publicize their work damages the credibility of the Agriculture Department and represents an unwarranted political intrusion into science. Some scientists see the fact that the administration has targeted another research arm of USDA, the Economic Research Service, as a warning shot. Perdue is moving ERS out of Washington, which some economists see as retribution for issuing reports that countered the administration’s agenda, as POLITICO recently reported.
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, pests and a changing environment. Rising CO2 in the atmosphere is projected to alter pest biology, such as by making weeds proliferate or temperatures more hospitable to damaging insects.

We also know something is trying to cover up
imadeitnice 'Climate heating'
We know lots of dirty is being covered CloseTheCamps SaveTheChildren’s
Really? What a surprise.
we got about a dozen years left on this planet enjoy your time!
Andrew Weiss you sir are a bafoon President Trump has been harder on Russia and Putin than any other president we have ever had all you Fake opinion people do is undermined our presidency your hate for this country and our president is despicable it’s time you tell the Truth!
Trump is trying to send their scientists to Kansas City in order to get them to resign. His new budget calls for cutting 50% of the USDA's budget. The scientists have 30 days to either resign or uproot their entire lives. Anything rooted in science is Trump's enemy.
So bigger rice is the problem because the nutritional value will be cut? Ok. Eat more There will be plenty for all. Higher co2= more food.
Sure/ Like Americans just gorge on rice 3 MEALS a day!!
It is Americas trade war not President trumps trade war it is Americans trade war it’s all for the better of America why don’t you stop rooting for America to fail and the American people to fail you should be ashamed of yourself it’s ridiculous
Because he knows that even HE CAN’T LIE his way out of those reports!
We’re fu3ked!
What was the trend over the previous 10 years?
Our focus has been to increase funding & efforts across all 4 STEM disciplines. Trump focus has been to stem any investment in science.
Why? Because *45 is provably a *moron*, with no ability to *spell* empathy, let alone actually having it...
You should be fired
Oh a Politico investigation? Zero credibility.
Maybe the findings were BS.
In 1950's, (an old man on street corner) warned the end of the world will come when we see floods, fire, droughts & the Chinese will rise.
He dont want a signtaure the Paris according because USA is the must principal contaminated in the world .
Really?
They don't give $%^&¿$ because they are so old they won't be around to see their family choke to death.
Yeah, those that yell the loudest are the WORST protectors of our environment! So many lies surround this subject, & MSM pushes it all! ClimateChangeHoax
Only Trump is dumb enough to think he can cover up climate change.
In other news, water is wet.
Typical.
😡
realDonaldTrump needs to pad the pockets of his swampy friends...
That's a lie. Real scientists are coming forward announcing climate change is a political lie...we knew that when a real scientist...the founder of the weather channel got on CNN saying it's a political DEM hoax. Why ALWAYS lying?
Let scientists show the proof
They totally get climate change and see violent depopulation as the answer - would only take 60 days of blockade to accomplish
The administration, researchers said, appears to be trying to limit the circulation of evidence of Santa Claus and avoid press coverage that may raise questions about the administration’s stance on the issue.
Burying evidence like anyone but them doesn't 'believe' in it
Really? Trump suppressing the truth? That’s weird.
Was there any consideration for what happened to us .NO But thankfully OBama didn't fail and brought this country back to health, now Trump is taking the credit. Trump has bamboozled the country into thinking he cares,NOT ONE IOTA FOLKS, NOT ONE IOTA
“What some consider”!?!?! NO- what we all KNOW!
The republicans were in power before OBama was elected and left him with a situation with the banks that was untenable. McConnell in the mean time did everything he could to see OBama fail, and worked very hard to see that happen
Donald Trump is suppressing the Truth, a novel concept, NOT. This time it's CLIMATE CHANGE and he has buried the scientists research. He has done his level best to put this world in another ice age. It is an inconvenient Truth he hides
Reports prepared by Obama holdovers.
. .realDonaldTrump Those are my last 2 tweets. I’m no “Journalist” & this publication has done some outstanding, investigative reporting on Iran written by Josh Myers, that was SUPPRESSED by the PictorianGuardMSM. But if Politico can refute these reports, pls do so.😉
The Republican party’s outrageous and dangerous climate change denial is endangering our children and grand children lives for short-term profits in oil and coal. We must vote out of office the collective greed of the Republican crony capitalists. They are SHAMELESSLY GREEDY.
. THE TRUTH is out there about this HOAX, and it seems .POTUS .realDonaldTrump’s .USDA is suppressing the GlobalWarmingClimateChangeHoax & PropagandaScience.😉
The Trump Administration is founded on suppressing the truth
Wtf When will the Republicans wake up and stand up?
. It’s simple. You have .BarackObama, LeftistWacko holdovers in the .realDonaldTrump admin .USDA, pushing PropagandaScience to MindFuck ppl & it’s being STOPPED! 😉 OldieButGoodie GlobalWarmingClimateChangeHoax
marblelakemama Why would you use real research when you have Koch-funded denier pseudo-science to bolster your pro fossil fuel/anti environment agenda? 🙄
I guess the climate issue is resolved by burying it its existence is gone forever 🔥🤡
Suppression of truth and Trump administration? Seems so odd.
Consider?
Zendette Donald qualifies as the King of Lies.
Trump’s entire life has been one long practice at suppressing the truth.
This is a DELIBERATE EFFORT. State the truth.
Trump doesn't care how hot earth gets he will be in hell in a few years.
This is a very real treath to Americans Trump is not respecting his Oath What an Evil Loser ! The GOP are his Treasonous Enablers ImpeachTrumpPenceNOW VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020
« I have the most transparent president »!
FaleNews. They contaminated the data set to make the outcome fit the climate myth...and the climate cult is pissed their fake document wasn’t released after all their hard work making it up...
It might be interesting were Politico to provide some proof of their accusations.
Earth's been doing what's it's been doing for hundreds of years..stop with the global warming climate change bullshit....
Fakenews again!!
'what some consider a deliberate effort at suppressing the truth' Ya think?
It’s OK, the eu have their own site with all the data
It's not up for debate. They are suppressing the truth.
They're angry? sheesh WE'RE angry they're hiding it!!!
What happen to Trump’s transparency in government? Stop the game playing. Stop controlling truth. A government that sensors information is not the government we want or need. End these control moves in our positions of power and our politics. We are a democracy. Demand better.
'...about what some consider...'--really? Everyone knows this, it's not 'what some consider'!
We have over 100K illegal aliens entering the country each month. Sorry, what about climate change?
Fake News
Rubbish
The GOP simply has its head buried in the sand.
Nothing to look at here, RapistInChief realDonaldTrump s personal lawyer Barr has this under control.
How many Fed government agencies and employees are being paid to do climate research? Guess the science is not settled...
If they were telling the whole truth, but they're not.
Guys just play it straight. Try it for a week and watch how much more people care about your point of view. The insane bias thing is simply not a good look, and is bad for America. Try journalism for one week.
Free Press is our only hope!
More than 31k scientists on record disbelieve in man-made climate change.
FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!!! -signed, MAGA sheeple
Glacier National Park has to remove its global warming signs because it didn't happen.
These are relic Dept of Ag employees from the previous admin still trying to undermine Trump with these ridiculous stories to the lap dog press.
Of course, wouldn’t want anyone in this administration to make any decisions based on facts, that would be setting a new precedent.
These were studies done by Trump administration!!!!!!
Jinxy_Minxy Did you see this one Fred RepFredUpton ? 'Climate change research by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture is being buried, and there's anger at the Trump administration about what some consider a deliberate effort at suppressing the truth'
eurasiafantasia When the truth don't fit ... file under FakeNews
Damn not just in the Truml administration This is a lie being perpetrated on the nation. And it reduces the survival of everyone’s children and grandchildren
NASA warns a mini ice age is coming our way soon.
'some consider' lol 🙄
Nothing to see here, keep moving! 🇺🇸MAGA🇺🇸
If it’s being buried it IS a deliberate effort to suppress the truth. Someone needs to get their hands on the research they don’t want anyone to see.
climatechangeisnormal
'Trumpifying' IOW - dumbing down/degrading of our government agencies choosing corruption & self enrichment over science & the best interests of the American people We are a NationAtRisk 1/
Climate change research by scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture is being buried, and there's anger at the Trump administration about this apocalyptically deliberate effort at suppressing the truth
As Pence says on SOTU that this administration relies on science.
Breaking: Senior Trump officials still believe the earth is flat, 4000 years old, and in the center of the solar system.
