Opinion: Time for NASA to focus on environment.

With 21 satellites observing the Earth and the world's largest civilian supercomputer, scientists say NASA could be a major player in the fight to control climate change. Writing in Scientific American, two of those scientists outline nine steps NASA could take, including partnering with "green tech" companies; launching inexpensive spacecraft to monitor Earth's climate; and spearheading efforts to make civil avation carbon-neutral.

Do these scientists actually believe NASA is going to monitor the Earth's climate when NASA and 45 other space agencies are the culprits that are responsible for climate change, ozone depletion and global warming? I don't think so. Also mentioned today in the St Petersburg Times newspaper an article on page 4A read: "Study: Bottom of globe warming too". Ozone depletion is at a record size of 16 million square miles. Does anyone believe NASA is going to conduct a study to expose themselves and the other space agencies to their destructive measures? Also why did NASA remove the past monthly launches from their website, 2009 in spaceflight-Wikipedia the free encyclopedia? Is it probable that my book contained the references between launch dates,
locations and climatic weather disasters? I personally think that was the reason the past monthly launch dates were removed, so no one could track them and correlate any current or past weather disasters!
