A solitary road snakes through the desolate volcanic plains of Mauna Loa, its pale surface contrasting sharply with the dark lava fields as power lines march alongside toward the distant research facilities. This remote 11,000-foot-high outpost, chosen by Charles David Keeling in the 1950s for its isolation from local pollution sources, houses the instruments that have documented humanity's steady increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide—from 315 parts per million when measurements began to over 400 ppm today.
