Mauna Loa Climate Station Faces Shutdown After 65 Years / ਮੌਨਾ ਲੋਆ ਜਲਵਾਯੂ ਸਟੇਸ਼ਨ 65 ਸਾਲਾਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਬੰਦ ਦਾ ਸਾਹਮਣਾ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ
For more than 65 years, a small observatory on top of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano has been measuring carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air.
This place has given us some of the most important proof that climate change is real—and caused by humans. But now, the U.S. government plans to stop funding it
CO₂ is a gas that helps trap heat in the atmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect, and it keeps Earth warm enough for life.
But when there is too much CO₂, it traps too much heat—and that causes global warming.
