#5 GLOBAL WARMING = the SUN.
PLANETARY WARMING = the SUN.
GLOBAL DHIMMITUDE > GLOBAL DIMMING? = the SUN.

versus "DAY AFTER TOMORROW" > "SOLAR OUTPUT IS NORMAL", e.g. THE WORLD IS WARMING BECUZ SOLAR OUPTPUT IS "NORMAL"?

IMO only this mission is just a PC cover for the USG-NASA to collect info on the Sun. among other methods - MERCURY IS OUR CLOSEST PLANET TO THE SUN + NASA WANTS TO KNOW HOW THE SUN = SOL IS AFFECTING IT + BY EXTENS INNER PLANETS. IOW, THE USG-NASA HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT CURR SOLAR MODELS-THEORIES AND WANT CERTAINTY.
