As the impacts of human-induced climate change become harder and harder to ignore, some on the right have moved away from denying it exists and toward a new strategy: blaming immigrants
for contributing to the problem.
An April 12 lawsuit brought by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich against the Department of Homeland Security alleges that the Biden administration’s policies on immigration have impacted the state’s environment by increasing demand for “housing, infrastructure, hospitals, and schools.”
The lawsuit alleges that immigrants “drive cars, purchase goods, and use public parks and other facilities. Their actions also directly result in the release of pollutants, carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which directly affects air quality.”

Eric Ward was so certain he would be a Marine, he wore a sweatshirt that read Marines every day in high school.
Steven Ward lost Eric, his youngest son, at age 19 in Afghanistan in 2010. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Every year, we take a bus to go see Eric and share family stories, Ward, who moved to Reno after his son died, said.
Eric Ward was a fifth-generation Marine. He actually saved quite a few people, Ward said of his son. He was a very generous kid, a very giving kid, but he was dead-set on being a Marine. He wore a Marine sweatshirt every day in high school to let everybody know he was going to be a Marine. He ended up being a really good one, too.

After some fits and starts, the Tennessee General Assembly pushed legislation through this spring that will bring a floundering, nearly dormant coal industry back under state control. It will cost nearly $1 million a year to do it, even though oversight was originally promised to be free.
Coal mines in Tennessee produced exactly the same amount of coal in the second, third and fourth quarters of last year: 0 tons. That haul, or lack thereof, continues a trend where the state of Tennessee mines less coal than all other coal-producing states but one.
Even still, lawmakers pushed the bill through with the price tag that will cost taxpayers. After it s signed by Gov. Bill Lee and after the federal government approves the move, the legislation would shift control of the coal mining industry from the federal government to state regulators. It s a move to bring back control since Tennessee lost that privilege due to poor management in the 1980s.
