Since the bill defines geoengineering as counteracting global *warning*
and not global *warming*, do we have anything to worry about?
The bill makes no distinction between small scale experiments and large
scale implementation, but I guess that is what the review process is for.

I live next door in Massachusetts so take a particular interest in this.
The bill has two sponsors, both Democrats:
- Rep. Karen MacBeth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_MacBeth
- Rep. James
McLaughlin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_McLaughlin_(politician)
They serve

According to their definition, yes, Ken, you are under arrest:
(6) Geoengineering means activities specifically and deliberately designed
to effect a change in the area climate, with the intent or purpose of
minimizing
What if the intent is to measure the effect, rather than to modify the
climate? Or to measure the ability to deliver an effect, as in an
engineering test?
And further, how would anyone know what intent someone holds?

If this is real and not a joke, and it passes in its present form, it seems
as if someone in Rhode Island could potentially be fined and imprisoned for
planting a tree with the intent of absorbing carbon dioxide from the

The bill is broadly drafted.
If it passed, presumably the Department of Environmental Management would adopt
rules creating categorical exemptions from the requirement to apply for a
permit. Also, presumably, these exemptions would include residential and
commercial landscaping activities.
It sure sounds like this would apply to biochar, too. But what about the
intent text? Is it legal if you apply biochar with the intention of
conserving water, but not if you apply it to manage climate?
