"Trump Cuts Target World-Leading Greenhouse Gas Observatory In Hawaii"

"The Trump administration is considering canceling the lease of the support office for a renowned Hawaii climate research station, sources said, raising fears for the future of key work tracking the impact of carbon emissions on global warming.

The office is one of more than 20 rented by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that are proposed to have their leases ended under money-saving efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency led by billionaire Elon Musk.

The online listing on the DOGE website mentions an NOAA office in Hilo and an estimate of how much would be saved by canceling its lease — $150,692 a year."
