A history of funding for the Mauna Loa COS observatory (and all those other observatories globally), from 1957 thru Cold Water and decades since....as historical context re: the current crisis.

By the way, receive regular official updates on CO2 levels (day by day) by following @keelingcurve.bsky.social .

Is there a way that we could setup private sensors at other locations and then, through calibration and adjustments, connect this new data set to the Keeling curve dataset?

I am asking seriously. I would gladly set up something, if I new how to connect the data in a meaningful way.

Mauna Loa is also one of the longest (if not the longest, at least in the US) running ozone measurement sites. I believe it's Dobson ozone measuring instrument is the one that's used as a reference for the others worldwide.

Yeah, I'm sure that'll fix the climate. If you don't measure, the problem disappears. Evil, evil idiots.

Agreed, and more:

We're open for business... free healthcare and nice people (well, most of us)! Teachers, scientists, doctors... c'mon up!

tmyers1872.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well, I guess that's the end of global warming ... problem solved. Ha!

Trump’s approach to decreasing covid cases was to oppose covid testing. Not checking and publishing Mauna Loa CO2 levels will be equally successful at reducing climate change
