Trump imposed a tariff on uninhabited Heard Island, which no one has heard of…except every oceanographer. Heard Island was the site of tests lead by Walter Monk et al. to see if acoustic signals can travel through the whole ocean, with the ultimate goal of measuring global ocean temperature rise.

That's a myth. As long as you eat a variety of plant proteins during the day, you're fine.
