Climate Change, Health, and the Built Environment in Alexandria
A stable climate is fundamental to human health. Climate change resulting from our continued emissions of greenhouse gases is placing substantial health risks and economic costs onto future generations.
Reducing these impacts requires cutting our greenhouse gas emissions 7-8% every year, in order to cut emissions roughly in half by 2030. In Alexandria, over half of our greenhouse gas emissions result from energy use in residential and commercial buildings. Limiting these emissions now is both possible, affordable, and necessary to protect our families and our environment.

Arizona is suing the Biden administration on claims that its immigration policy, which has allowed record numbers of migrants to enter the country, along with its decision to stop construction on the nation s border law, is having a devastating impact on the state s environment, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said Monday. This is a lawsuit that the Sierra Club should love, Brnovich said on Fox News Fox and Friends. In this lawsuit, we allege the Biden administration is violating the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA), what the left uses to stop highway projects, airport reconstruction, and all that other stuff.
Today, the California Senate Environmental Quality Committee is scheduled to hear the Climate Corporate Accountability Act, requiring the California Air Resources Board to adopt and develop regulations requiring business entities disclose greenhouse gas emissions.
