The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Washington Post.
The Global Monitoring Laboratory in Hilo, Hawaii, is on a list of dozens of National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration facilities whose leases are set to expire later this year. The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data from atop a volcano to produce the famed Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. The observatory itself is not on the list of potential closures, but staff in the Hilo lab work to maintain it, according to the lab’s website.
Data collected from the observatory have shown global carbon dioxide levels — the most significant driver behind record planetary warming — are rising faster than ever recorded. Trump has been dismissive of that data and the consensus around climate change, and his allies who wrote the policy playbook Project 2025 proposed dismantling NOAA, calling it a source of climate alarmism.......
“NOAA provides critical information about extreme weather and coastal hazards, manages fisheries, conserves coastal and marine resources, and protects American fishermen and consumers,” the members wrote. “Closing field facilities will compromise NOAA’s ability to provide these services and damage the local communities and economies that rely on them.”......
Data collected from Mauna Loa have been key to human understanding of global climate change since Charles David Keeling started recording atmospheric concentrations of CO2 atop the volcano in the late 1950s, the first known effort to measure the planet-warming gas over the long term.

I’m truly stunned that this is on the edge of a volcano...no tipping the scale...right??
co2=plant food. ‘nuff said.
> …where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere <
Better:
…where scientists completely make up key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere
- And don’t feel bad about losing your jobs, scientists. With your experience, you folks can always find work reading palms in one of those traveling sideshows.
And of course the Compost thinks this is the end of the world. If we don’t continue to study volcanic co2 we’re done for.
“have shown global carbon dioxide levels — the most significant driver behind record planetary warming“
Shit it down on this lie alone! 🤦
Did you really mean to say that instead of “shut”?
The Washington Post misspelled "Fake, Lying, money laundering system for Democrats."
I don’t blame him for closing it. We all know where the pollution comes from, and it’s not the U.S.!
There is a facility that tracks 0.04% of the atmosphere? Wow! 0.04% of our atmosphere is NOT causing warming- its impossible! The numbers just are not there to cause “castrophic warming” like the left falsely claim!
LOL great movie!
Yes, get rid of the obnoxious CO2!!!!! We have way too much greenery....Way too much food plants...Way too much forests...
We need MORE room for asphalt, concrete, and metal roads, parking lots, and buildings!!!!!!
🤦 No! It is “shut”. dyac!

DEFINITELY!! 😂👍👍🤣😆😄😃😀
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution
+++++++++++
This can not happen fast enough.
Reading the comments by that article is like listening to a group of college Marxists who never took econ101 talking about “sharing the wealth,” “the rich paying their fair share,” how healthcare is a right and other lefty mclefterson sound bites heard among the ignorami… true believers, in other words.
If it weren’t so, oh, I don’t know, “sturmmabteilung”-like knee-jerk leftist reactivity, it would be funny; but considering those are the types who approve of things like monkey-wrenching power plants and burning TESLA dealerships (among other low-level terroristic activities), it’s virtually prophetic.
“surging greenhouse gas levels“
WaPos never disappoints
