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!

🔮 What does the future hold for our oceans and their ability to soak up carbon from the atmosphere?
That's what a team of scientists are hoping to learn more about, as they embark on a 51 day voyage around the Southern Ocean. 🌊
It's time for a thread 🧵

So guess who fell over, nearly broke their toe, and ended up faceplanting on the concrete stairs yesterday?
