In case you were wondering, the SPICE press office completely ignored my request for further info.
I think they've been stamped on for being controversial, and they're trying to keep a low profile Reminds me of Galileo A ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Andrew Lockley" <[email protected]> Date: Sep 30, 2011 10:34 PM Subject: Project delays To: <[email protected]> Cc: "geoengineering" <[email protected]> Sir I write with deep concern at the news of the delay to the SPICE experiment. Please can you provide a fuller statement regarding the delay to this project? It is extremely worrying that these benign and important experiments in climate science are being held up, based on what appears to be political lobbying. It does no service to the debate around geoengineering when crucial safety and efficacy research is held up, seemingly by lobbying motivated by a fear of knowledge. I hope you can reassure the scientists and engineers working in this field that these benign and important experiments will soon be restarted, and that further unnecessary delays will not be allowed to occur. Society must not allow a situation where neo-luddites hold back the development of technology which may protect humanity from catastrophic climate change. In fact, such delays simply make it more likely that the technology will be deployed in a panic without crucial safety research. I keenly await your response.
