I honestly don't see a problem in doing this, as the article stated, there are already many different countries trying to go to the moon. It wouldn't be that expensive or far-fetched to just add some climate monotoring equipment to the list of other things the countries are planning on doing, especially if it is a multi-country joint effort. If we are already going to set things up on the moon in the first place, then there really shouldn't be a problem in adding this to the list.
