This is almost too stupid to comment on, but I hope it's clear to everyone what's going on here: authoritarians bully you into doing little shit like this as a way to train you to comply, to grease the skids for bigger things. You talk yourself into a little thing, the next thing is easier.

Is it hard to measure CO2 accurately? Does it have to be at this exact spot or could the State of Hawaii (or France, or California) set one up nearby on non-federal land?

This is seriously one of the best acts of resistance to the growing risk from authoritarian oligarchs anyone can do right now since the next major U.S. elections won't happen for months.

Whoa—the Montana Supreme Court holds that its state constitution protects the right to "a stable climate system," and strikes down a law that barred consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when permitting new fossil fuel projects. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...
