The data collected there helped to create the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/keelingcurve.ucsd.edu\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Keeling Curve<\/a>, a famous upward-sweeping graph that documents the steep rise in carbon dioxide concentrations over decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThese data are our eyes on the planet,\u201d said Ralph Keeling, a climate science professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and the son of Charles Keeling, the curve\u2019s creator. \u201cIt\u2019s really vital base line data for how things are going to change going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The observatory\u2019s office is among 30 buildings operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the nation\u2019s leading agency for climate research, that are listed on the spreadsheet for possible lease terminations, beginning as early as May.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unclear what would happen to operations at the observatory if the office were to close. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to comment, writing in an email, \u201cAs a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Over the course of a day, the levels of carbon dioxide rise and fall, and within a year, there are seasonal variations. But the Keeling Curve shows the number has risen by more than 100 parts per million since 1958. In 2024, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/01\/09\/climate\/2024-heat-record-climate-goal.html\" title=\"\">more carbon was emitted than ever before<\/a>, and the average annual reading showed <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/keelingcurve.ucsd.edu\/2025\/01\/17\/new-record-for-annual-increase-in-keeling-curve-readings\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a record jump from the year prior<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That rise has warmed the atmosphere, causing climate change that has led to more frequent and intense extreme weather events like heat waves, floods and wildfires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Department of Government Efficiency, the cost-cutting effort spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk, has so far proposed terminating <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/doge.gov\/savings\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">793 leases<\/a> across the federal government. The list on the DOGE webpage includes at least 19 NOAA leases. The federal government could save about $500 million by ending them, according to DOGE. That is less than 0.1 percent of the more than $1.3 trillion that the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usaspending.gov\/agency\/department-of-defense?fy=2025\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. government will spend on defense<\/a> in fiscal year 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In addition, the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, posted, and then took down, a list of 443 federal buildings it planned to sell, designating them as \u201cnot core to government operations.\u201d If implemented, that list, which included at least five child care facilities, could potentially save the government \u201cmore than $430 million in annual operating costs,\u201d <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gsa.gov\/about-us\/newsroom\/news-releases\/statement-regarding-gsas-disposal-of-noncore-assets-03042025#:~:text=GSA%20will%20consider%20non%2Dcore,than%20%24430%20million%20in%20annual\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to a March 4 news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At least 13 are NOAA buildings according to a document created by former NOAA employees and viewed by The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One building on that list was a NOAA satellite control room outside Washington, D.C., from where the federal government oversees a fleet of at least 15 weather satellites. Another was the National Center for Environmental Information in Asheville, N.C., which manages the digital and physical archives of more than a century of climate data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A GSA spokesman told The Times in an email that since publishing the list, the agency had \u201creceived an overwhelming amount of interest\u201d and that the list would be \u201crepublished in the near future.\u201d Such initiatives were in support of the Trump administration\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/02\/implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency-cost-efficiency-initiative\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">executive order<\/a> empowering DOGE to cut costs, according to the statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the initial GSA list added to the anxiety caused by the federal shake-up in personnel and funding allocations, according to Janet Coit, the former assistant administrator of NOAA Fisheries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Coit said that NOAA Fisheries operates out of many leased facilities, and if leases are abruptly terminated, staff won\u2019t know whether they have an office or access to essential equipment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf you kick them out of their offices,\u201d said Ms. Coit, \u201cyou just reduce their effectiveness and their ability to do their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nine of the 30 proposed lease terminations at NOAA are law enforcement offices for NOAA Fisheries. These offices monitor more than four million square miles of ocean along the United States and territorial coastlines. Those officers make sure that seafood is harvested sustainably and in compliance with the law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Along with potential lease terminations and facility sales, staffing reductions have impacted the accessibility of climate science.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The National Centers for Environmental Information announced this week that monthly media briefings on U.S. and global climate data, including monthly temperature and precipitation reports, would end in April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">John Bateman, a meteorologist and NOAA spokesman, said in an email on Thursday that the change came after the center lost \u201ca significant number of its staff\u201d through job cuts and retirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In February, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/27\/climate\/noaa-layoffs-trump.html\" title=\"\">1,300 workers were terminated<\/a> from NOAA and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/08\/climate\/noaa-layoffs-trump.html\" title=\"\">another 1,000 layoffs are planned<\/a>.
