STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six

A RESOLUTION urging the prohibition of the intentional release of polluting emissions, including cloud seeding and weather modification, to preserve the atmosphere of New Hampshire.

Whereas, many atmospheric activities such as weather modification, stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), solar radiation modification (SRM), and other forms of geoengineering, involving the intentional release of polluting emissions, harm human health and safety, the environment, agriculture, wildlife, aviation, state security, and the economy of the state of New Hampshire; and

Whereas, it is the intention of the New Hampshire house of representatives to prohibit the intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight, thereby prohibiting geoengineering (including SAI and SRM) and other intentionally polluting activities in New Hampshire’s atmosphere and/or at ground level to preserve the safe, healthful, and peaceful uses of New Hampshire’s atmosphere for people, wildlife, and agriculture; and

Whereas, due to necessity arising from the federal stance and the potential and ease for enemies, foreign and domestic, to cause harm intentionally, the states’ rights, including their authorities, are correctly exerted pursuant to the Tenth Amendment, where federal programs and restrictions have become oppressive or destructive; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives: the house hereby declares that no person shall engage in geoengineering activities, including weather modification, stratospheric aerosol injection, or solar radiation modification involving the intentional release of polluting emissions within the borders of the state of New Hampshire.
