  • 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 (CO), forming the iconic "Keeling Curve."
  • The observatory's high-altitude and remote location enabled accurate tracking of CO levels, helping confirm human-driven climate change.
