RFA (as usual) has been involved in meetings on this. I reached out for some more information / progress and basically the word is this:
This research study and grants for it have been out there for years but previously under an "Oil / Gas Study" which is why it was always rejected. Now under the "Climate Change" title it was approved.
There is apparently no way at this point to stop it (although sign the petition Howie put out as it cant hurt). What RFA is currently pushing for is to at least get them to change the schedule to a less invasive time frame as there may be some ability to get that done.
