No.
If an atom of thorium loses 2 protons, it would turn into an atom of protactinium. Thorium has an atomic number of 90, so losing 2 protons would change it to an atomic number of 88, which is protactinium.
Because the climate change
Thorium itself is odorless in its natural state. However, thorium compounds may have a slight metallic or musty odor. It is always important to handle thorium with proper precautions due to its radioactive properties.
Some thorium ores are monazite, thorianite, thorite.
Thorium is generally known by its chemical name "Thorium." However, it may also be referred to as "Th" on the periodic table.
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
At present there is no shortage of uranium so this established technology is preferred. Thorium can be used to breed a different uranium isotope, and this might be used in the future, but is not planned in the next generation of plants.
Thorium and fluorine Thorium trifluoride - ThF3 Thorium tetrafluoride - ThF4
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
I think it is climate change
If an atom of thorium loses 2 protons, it would turn into an atom of protactinium. Thorium has an atomic number of 90, so losing 2 protons would change it to an atomic number of 88, which is protactinium.
Thorium is a natural, radioactive, chemical element; chemically, thorium is homogeneous.
The nuclear reaction is:Th-232(n,gamma)U-233

Also thorium.
The chemical symbol of thorium is Th.
