<div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in;"> Thank you for your interest and
expressions of support for the PEARL station. This is a very
difficult time and any support is appreciated.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in;"> As far as financial support is
concerned, I would invite you to consider a donation to the
Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences (<font color="#000080"><span lang="zxx"><u><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cfcas.org/">www.cfcas.org</a></u></span></font>)
who have been vigorous supporters of PEARL over many years. They
would be happy to route funds to activities in support of PEARL.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in;"> One of the questions we frequently
get
asked is: “Who does PEARL benefit?” and when we answer that the
research is of benefit to all Canadian citizens and indeed to the
whole world, the next issue is how that support is expressed. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in;"> It is easier to document support for
research that benefits a company or industry (get the CEO to write
a
support letter) than it to document support for research of
broader
significance. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0in;"> So I would invite you to show your
support of PEARL by writing to your MP, the Prime Minister and
Minister Kent and let them know how you feel. When we lobby
government as scientists, we are often dismissed as "interested
parties". When others lobby it has much more effect.<br>
