Mauna Loa Observatory of Hawaii has the longest record of direct measurements of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere
These observations were initially started by C. David Keeling of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in March of 1958 at a facility of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA started its own CO2 measurements in May of 1974, and they have run in parallel with those made by Scripps since then.
So basically, this website was a primary source for seeking the information of recent Trends of Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere.
Was it really necessary to shut down updating the website, knowing the fact that, CO2 is a one of the major key driver of global warming in this changing climate?

Dear Erik Hans Hoffmann
I think the other place like Antarctica, you are referring to, for the measurement of CO2 and other green house gases is
South Pole Observatory
which is also a part of Global Greenhouse Gas Reference Network,
NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado.
This is a very important issue, because more and more data from climatologists indicates that the global warming process is progressing faster. The main source of this process is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the largest of which is due to the development of human civilization, including industrial development, classic energy based on mineral combustion, automotive based on combustion engines, and also increased forest fires and other formations plants etc. This is an important issue because from year to year in different climate zones there are more and more events of weather anomalies and climatic disasters.
