The Keeling Curve

The Keeling Curve: Watch It!

Keeling's Curve has been called one of the most important scientific works of the 20th century

Scripps CO2 measurements at Mauna Loa have been supported for many years by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and have more recently been supplemented by Earth Networks, a technology company collaborating with Scripps to expand the global GHG monitoring network. Support for website development was provided in part by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
