Doesn't Mauna Loa spew CO2 by the metric ton on a regular basis? Why is that vantage point the best source of atmospheric CO2 ppm?

Brilliant early work from Bourdain that (I believe) launched his career, which was tragically cut short. Just last month, I feasted on bun cha next to the table in Hanoi where Obama and Bourdain ate in 2015. He was a global ambassador who u
