- The United States government plans to stop for funding the Mauna Loa Climate Observatory in Hawaii.
- This may result in the shutdown of one of the world’s longest-running carbon dioxide monitoring stations after 65 years.
- The Mauna Loa station was established in 1958 by scientist Charles Keeling.
- It has provided consistent data on atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), forming the iconic "Keeling Curve."
- The observatory's high-altitude and remote location enabled accurate tracking of CO₂ levels, helping confirm human-driven climate change.
