Atmosphere Study Act

HR 6941, the Atmosphere Study Act, requires the Secretary of Energy to study potential negative health and environmental effects of federally funded or involved geoengineering projects within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The study must cover specific techniques like injecting aerosols into the atmosphere or spraying sea salt into clouds to alter climate. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress one year after completing the study, defining "geoengineering" as large-scale climate interventions and "covered projects" as those using federal funds or agency participation. This bill does not implement new policies but mandates a review of existing or planned projects.
