Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.
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 Post.
