This article just came out in the NYT saying Monnet is scheduled for a second interview next Tuesday.  Now they are saying that this interview will focus on how he allocated money from the $50M that he manages to conduct further studies of the polar bears.

Yes, more study might turn up information the BOEM doesn't really want to know about.  

Well, the good news is that there IS some publicity on the topic.

As they say, "The best bandage is sunshine."
