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

@bonifartius @davidho There are lots of copies. But it is the original and was kept up to date.
I hope they keep up the measurements with the same methods. Perhaps writing the values down in a little black notebook hidden behind a file drawer…. Otherwise we would loose a continuous record.
There are many places on earth where these measurements are made. But this is (one of?) the oldest and it it far away from industrial areas, sitting in the ocean.
