Trump admin tries to kill the most indisputable evidence of human-caused climate change by shuttering observatory

[Dulcinea]

(CNN) The Trump administration’s proposed budget seeks to shut down the laboratory atop a peak in Hawaii where scientists have gathered the most conclusive evidence of human-caused climate change since the 1950s.

The Mauna Loa laboratory in Hawaii has measured atmospheric carbon dioxide, which — along with other planet-warming pollution — has led directly to climate change, driving sea level rise, supercharging weather and destroying food systems.

The president’s budget proposal would also defund many other climate labs, including instrument sites comprising the US government’s greenhouse gas monitoring network, which stretches from northern Alaska to the South Pole.

1. The Gold Standard of Climatic Data for 69 years

The Keeling Curve does not lie. The data is not red or blue it is what it is and
that is we are adding CO 2 to our atmosphere and the more CO 2 you have in a
body of gas the more heat it will hold. That was proven in Germany in 1850 (?)
and it is one of Universal Gas Laws.

4. How apropos

And poignant, too.

We sure wouldn’t want to do that for the next generation, would we?

8. Heaven forbid

5. Ehhhh

Those scientists don’t need to look up, anyway.

6. If we just give them all the money will they promise to go away?

Here, top one percent - take it. Now, get out of ruining everybody's lives for money and we'll take it from here.

7. If it isn't measured, then it doesn't exist

It is somewhat stunning, but somehow not surprising, that the United States is leaping into an abyss of a scientific dark age.

9. Yeah, just like Trump on Coronavirus:

‘If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any’

10. This is madness by a mad man.
