BANGKOK (AP) — The
United States says it won’t be able to carry out a climate study this year
because Thailand has postponed granting NASA permission to use a key naval air
base.
The American space agency’s request to use Thailand’s
U-Tapao air base has faced opposition from critics who say it could be a cover
for military purposes.
The Thai Cabinet decided on Tuesday to have lawmakers
debate the issue after Parliament reconvenes Aug. 1, a month after a deadline
NASA had set.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Walter Braunohler said Thursday
that NASA can’t wait because the climate study focuses on regional weather
patterns that occur only in August and September.
He says it is too early to say whether NASA will revisit
the project next year.
