Why Trump is killing the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawai'i

Column: The Keeling Curve, measured there, is irrefutable evidence of increasing CO2 emissions

The real reason why Trump is killing the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawai'i

The Keeling Curve, measured there, is irrefutable evidence of increasing CO2 emissions

COLUMN When you don't like the message, what do you do? You shoot the messenger, of course.

That's the strategy being employed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration as it works to avoid, ignore, or bury data that prove the reality of anthropogenic global warming and its evil twin climate change.

Case in point: The Trump administration recently released its draft budget [PDF] for the country's premier analytical agency focused on Earth systems, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Among the many cuts to NOAA research proposed in the draft was one that would represent a death blow to the Mauna Loa Observatory, the source of the data fueling the most iconic chart in all of climate research, the time-honored and justly venerated Keeling Curve.

Understanding the basics of carbon dioxide - NOAA Research

As atmospheric greenhouse gas levels continue to rise, it is important to understand the basics of what these gases are, how NOAA monitors t

In addition to warming temperatures, rising carbon dioxide levels can cause increased hurricane intensity, sea level rise, ocean acidification, and social inequities experienced by underserved and overburdened communities that face higher risks of illness and death from extreme heat. If global energy demand continues to grow rapidly and we meet it mostly with fossil fuels, human emissions of carbon dioxide could reach 75 billion tons per year or more by the end of the century. Atmospheric carbon dioxide could be 800 ppm or higher—conditions not seen on Earth for close to 50 million years.
