"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 studies range from a groundbreaking discovery that rice loses
vitamins in a carbon-rich environment — a potentially serious health
concern for the 600 million people world-wide whose diet consists mostly
of rice — to a finding that climate change could exacerbate allergy
seasons to a warning to farmers about the reduction in quality of
grasses important for raising cattle."
