NASA and its scientist are at the heart of this. There is only one company that has developed the translation to the satellite data for the last 10 yrs and their will be only one professor from Standford who will do it for the future system called Earth Skin from Cisco.......... follow the money. The stanford professor has three for profit companies.... follow the money......
Anything NASA does ought to be public domain as a government work unless it is a classified national security secret (and global warming/cooling isn’t being treated as any secret).
