50 year Continuous Record of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
The Keeling Curve of measurements taken at the summit of Mauna Loa in Hawaii provided the first real indication that CO2 levels were rising:

 

Carbon monitoring timeline

1957: Charles David Keeling starts monitoring CO2 at the South Pole and Hawaii

1958: Keeling starts first direct continuous atmospheric measurements of CO2

Early 1970s: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), a US federal agency, starts monitoring CO2 worldwide

1995-2003: Noaa's Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) at Boulder, Colorado, develops and maintains the world's standard references for CO2 and other greenhouse gases
