Climate Monitoring Station Proposed on the Moon

CryogenicKeen writes: "From the Article: "Using data from an Apollo 15 experiment whose original intent was thwarted by unanticipated lunar surface conditions, the University of Michigan geophysicist recently showed that surface temperatures on the near side of the moon accurately record important information about Earth's climate system. Based on his analysis, recently published online in Advances in Space Research, Huang is calling for an international effort to develop and deploy monitoring stations on the moon for the study of terrestrial climate change." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/05/07052 5200427.htm"
