Can’t have all that data about CO 2 levels getting out there. Trump promised the fossil fuel
industries if they supported him in 2024 he would shut down all that “climate stuff.”

“Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) is located on the north flank of Mauna Loa Volcano, on the Big Island of Hawaii, at an elevation of 3397 meters, or 11,135 feet above sea level. The observatory is a premier atmospheric research facility that has been continuously monitoring and collecting data related to atmospheric change since the 1950's.“
