once again NASA stands for narional aeronautics and space administration. so them looking at the weather/climate on other planets is in their purview, where as the climate/weather on earth is the purview of the NOAA.
Studying earth from space is very much a part of their mission. It is the only planet where they can make observations, and validate / confirm them and them apply it to their mission to study other planets. As a matter of fact, better understanding earth through space observation is, and has been, a part of their main focus from the start.

Why has no one taken issue with their research on earths atmosphere until recently, they have quite a long history in this area going back decades. I wouldn't get to hung up on name as they are the best organization, Department of Defense comes to mind.
So who would you have do the research on our planet.

Just pointing out the fact that if it is unsettled research should continue, more scientific research is a good thing, no?

Of course research should continue. The point of the article is NASA should focus on space exploration. Since they already cross pollinate with NOAA, hand off the atmospheric to them. Simple: that's all the article is saying. Scientific America ran the exact same interview and they have trump derangement as well but it was way more muted without the hyperbole.
And yet the sun has entered a quiet period of reduced sunspot activity.
Exactly, so we know that it's not the sun that is causing recent warming....What could be the cause then? Could it be what science is telling us? Oh my, what a mystery!
