NOAA <> NASA

  Until 2006, understanding the Earth's climate was an explicit component of NASA's core mission statement. The exact phrasing that was removed in 2006 was: "to understand and protect the home planet". So, yes, NOAA != NASA, but I think the parent comment was still spot on.

  The global temperature results are often presented as NASA, NOAA in dual briefings, though sometimes the other way round, probably depends whose turn it is to book the hotel - https://www.nasa.gov/press/2015/january/nasa-determines-2014-warmest-year-in-modern-record https://www.nasa.gov/press/2015/january/nasa-determines-2014... They do individual analyses, but by and large, NASA manages the kit.
