The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.

@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

GM American family, just a gentle reminder that despair is a luxury we cannot afford.

Soothe your tender heart by speaking your truth. 🗣️

Act as if your words feed an irrepressible flame which will dispel this fog of war. 🕯️

YOU hold the power of light which will never forsake you🔥

It’s time!

Trump and Musk just destroyed US soft power. The Chinese, in particular, will be delighted. #USAID
