Let’s share some ideas about continuing to collect new data & having publicly available online…or other idea sharing. We do understand the problem, let’s find a solution to collect our data at this unique location on our planet.

He will be dead when his little kingdom in Florida disappears. He doesn't care about repercussions. 20 years tops.

Except that these observatories are built on sacred land that was not supposed to be infringed. That is causing harm in its own way. Maybe we could find a way to protect the environment without destroying it.

As I was reading this outcry, I remember the tears. They still fall! It should NEVER have been there. Don't believe Trump was trying to care for the sacred. But pray it never returns to this sacred place. Thank you for speaking the truth.

That's exactly what's happening, yes.

Will rising CO2 concentration ever grow enough chlorophyll to offset 100 million barrels of oil a day?

dianapowers.bsky.social•2 days ago

No.

What is the budget for this to continue?

Gov Green, can the State pitch in to help prevent this?

Ms Scott, the World is beholding to you for your generosity in these matters. Can you help?

Future generations will hate our generation for letting climate change destroy their future.

Time to move from Galveston, TX.

Or discouraging testing for Covid because you don't like the numbers.

drsurekhadavies.bsky.social•2 days ago

Brilliantly put.

“If we stopped testing, we’d have fewer cases!”

I've been following the Mauna Loa CO2 ppm observations for many years. It would be so sad to see them stop. It's time for our scientists to move to Europe in a massive brain drain. In Europe, people still believe in science.

Right-wing parties in Europe are pursuing the same course as Trump's junta. But with the exception of Hungary, there is no majority in the other states.

dianapowers.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, unfortunately right-wing parties are inspiring each other from around the world now. Perhaps some enterprising idiot will write a version of Project 2025 for Europe next! I hope not, but they all are coordinated now.

on jets…?

Mauna Loa is the most important measuring station in the world for measuring atmospheric CO2 development. Can't this station be taken over by @pik-potsdam.bsky.social, Mr. @rahmstorf.bsky.social ?

The Hawaiian government could simply take a dollar

dragonfish57.bsky.social•2 days ago

Remember "if we don't test, there won't be any more cases" in trump 1.0.

archaeoiain.bsky.social•2 days ago

No it is like turning off the fire alarm to stop the fire

steelesus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Disgusting idiocy

willparker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would not be surprised if this regime banned actual fire alarms.

chinmusiclcsw.bsky.social•2 days ago

WTG Senator Schatz!

I wonder if he negotiated turning off those pesky “incoming ballistic missile” alerts.

spiritanimalpotato.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well trump did say "testing created more cases" during the c-19 era. So this is the natural progression in that twisted logic since he doesn't believe the world has a problem. Granted he personally probably didn't do this shut down, but it is all part of his "grand plan."

chriswordnerd.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s worse. It’s like turning off a fire alarm because you don’t want the other residents to know that you started a fire in the kitchen and are planning to pour fuel on it next.

realdreadpirate.bsky.social•2 days ago

Reminds me of the US President who, at the start of the pandemic, suggested that the “cause” of the high case numbers was the testing that revealed them. He appealed for less testing, because in his mind that would make the problem go away …

you know, i know they're dropping all these bombs but do we really need an air raid siren?

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to comment, writing in an email, “As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios.”
