Bill Summary
Urging the prohibition of the intentional release of polluting emissions, including cloud seeding and weather modification, to preserve the atmosphere of New Hampshire.
AI Summary
This resolution addresses concerns about geoengineering activities in New Hampshire by prohibiting the intentional release of polluting emissions that aim to modify weather or atmospheric conditions. Specifically, the resolution declares that no person shall engage in activities such as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), solar radiation modification (SRM), or other weather modification techniques within the state's borders. The resolution argues that such activities can harm human health, safety, the environment, agriculture, wildlife, aviation, state security, and the state's economy. It requires the commissioner of environmental services to notify 27 different federal agencies and organizations about this policy within 30 days, including major scientific and governmental bodies like NASA, NOAA, the Department of Defense, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The resolution invokes states' rights under the Tenth Amendment, suggesting that the prohibition is necessary due to potential federal programs that might be oppressive or destructive. The document emphasizes preserving the safe, healthful, and peaceful uses of New Hampshire's atmosphere for people, wildlife, and agriculture.
