Bummer: Trump Admin Considering Closing Climate Doom Observatory In Hawaii

Hey, it’s their own fault for using a tiny increase in CO2 as a political weapon, for being part of a cult

Trump cuts target world-leading greenhouse gas observatory in Hawaii

The Trump administration is considering cancelling the lease of the support office for a renowned Hawaiian climate research station, sources said, raising fears for the future of key work tracking the impact of carbon emissions on global warming.

The office is one of more than 20 rented by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that are proposed to have their leases ended under money-saving efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency led by billionaire Elon Musk.

The online listing on the DOGE website mentions an NOAA office in Hilo, Hawaii and an estimate of how much would be saved by cancelling its lease – $150,692 a year.

Staff, researchers and other sources gave details on the building’s role as the main support office for the Mauna Loa Observatory about 50 km (30 miles) west of the town.

The observatory, established in 1956 on the northern flank of the Mauna Loa volcano, is recognised as the birthplace of global carbon dioxide monitoring and maintains the world’s longest record of measurements of atmospheric CO2.

How many buildings are being used for this? How many employees are employed to track what requires one?

“It would be terrible if this office was closed,” atmospheric scientist Marc Alessi, a fellow with the Union of Concerned Scientists advocacy group, said.

“Not only does it provide the measurement of CO2 that we so desperately need to track climate change, but it also informs climate model simulations.”

The simulations that keep failing?

    Ending the lease will save $150,000 a year! Which is also the average pay of Elon’s 40 DOGE Boyz. And Elon wants to double the size of DOGE!!

    Teach ignores the 1956 start date, LOL. The MAGAt-World the best way to stop global warming is to stop measuring it!! EO 10169 bans thermometers!! LOL. Dont’ Worry, Be Happy!!

    MAGAts hate science because data conflicts with MAGAt dogma. MAGAts hate education.

    Every action, every pronouncement, every thought from trump harms America and the world.

      “Elon wants to double the size of DOGE!” Oh, no-finding more government waste! That would be terrible!

    Dems have gone from mandating electric cars to setting them on fire-no wonder no one takes them seriously…

    • Elwood P Dowd says:

      Actuall, Jl, “The people are revolting”.

      Trump: “They sure are!” (from Donnie’s one-‘man’ play, The Wizard of Odd… apologies to Parker/Hart and L. Frank Baum).

      The revolt is not against EVs but against the ketamine-addicted dickhead, Elon Musk, and his uber expensive *Teslers. But you knew that. The revolt has cost Musk $120,000,000,000. So far. The flatulist from Florida (ffF) created a TV commercial for Tesler and Musk from the White House lawn in hopes of getting Tesler stock up!!

      President ffF and the son he wish he had had (TSHWH, pronounced ‘tush’) want to promote Tesler at the expense of all the other EV manufacturers. Prez ffF, at once, can promote Tesler but kill EVs!!! Yes, he has that kind of advanced brain.

      • Jl says:

        So in other words some of the same folks that mandated EVs are attempting to set Tesla EVs on fire, all because of attempting to reduce waste in government. We’re all dumber for having to read that…

        • Elwood P Dowd says:

          You believe the lying liars claiming they’re trying to reduce waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government? Well, bless your heart.

          And you believe politicians are burning Teslers?

          Anyway, throught Feb 2023, 232 Tesla fires were reported, with 83 fatalities.

          Sounds like Elon has burned more Teslers than have the protesters!!
