Solar observatories at sunset at NOAA/Scripps atmospheric and solar observatory, Mauna Loa Hawaii. The tower at right is where air is analysed for CO2 content. See http://www.worldviewofglobalwarming.org/pages/maunaloa.php
Air is collected on this 27 m tower and several shorter towers, and analyzed for CO2 content on Mauna Loa, Hawaii. See http://www.worldviewofglobalwarming.org/pages/maunaloa.php
Mauna Loa Hawaii NOAA/Scripps atmospheric and space observatory. Air is collected on the 27 m tower (left) and analyzed for CO2 content -- the longest continuous record of atmospheric CO2 concentrations available in the world.

“The Keeling Curve.” Dr. Charles Keeling began continuous direct measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere here on Mauna Loa, Hawaii, in 1958. See http://www.worldviewofglobalwarming.org/pages/maunaloa.php
A vial of air at the Mauna Loa, Hawaii, atmospheric CO2 measurement lab tower. In April 2011 the concentration was 392.65 ppm — in 2015 it is continuously above 400 ppm.
