recently started becoming really paranoid about using Spotify because I have no idea if they’ll start suggesting unlabelled AI generated music / artists.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!
