> The air that swirls around the isolated outpost located on a Hawaiian volcano is a mix from all over the Northern Hemisphere. That makes it one of the best places to measure greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It is indispensable to scientists around the world.
If you can SLAP one somewhere, then slap one on the Mauna Loa and be done with finding an issue with Trump and do something in your god damn life without forcing me to pay taxes for crap.
The whole point is to collect time-series data at a location that's isolated from individual sources of CO2 emissions. That way we can see how CO2 concentrations are changing over long periods of time.
Your comment doesn't make any sense. If you shut down the measurement, you don't have any data going forward, so the data cannot be "everywhere". And you cannot substitute data collected in another location if you want to measure changes over time - which is a really important thing to measure.
