Hi all, Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, is going to Poznan today. I have given him a copy of my proposal. But I'm pretty sure he will not appreciate the danger from Arctic sea ice disappearance, nor appreciate the possibility of geoengineering to prevent it happening. He needs briefing.
Is anybody still at Poznan, from this group? Or do you know anybody there, who might talk to Mr Miliband? And, Oliver, I'd be personally interested in your "initial idea". Email me privately if you like. I want as many good ideas as possible to save the sea ice!

Statement by His Excellency President Morales for the Poznan Conference Dear John, Scott Elliot and I are have an initial idea we are working on that could have a desired impact on the Arctic. If the idea is viable we will submit a paper soon.
