Not anymore. This came up six months ago.
I thought I'd put in for some of the money, seeing
as they're entertaining any wild theory that says it's happening.

What I thought I'd base my thesis on was that is was possible to

China and India (whose economies are rapidly industrializing) aren't
required to do any pollution control at all.
Way to go, Kyoto!
