DEMOCRATIC REP. Jimmy Panetta last week introduced a bill he said would prevent the elimination of western monarch butterflies, which fly to Pacific Grove and other parts of the California every year during the fall and winter. This legislation, co-authored by two Republicans and another Democrat, would try to halt the decline of the in- sect, which Panetta said has “dropped by 99 percent” since the 1980s. The number of monarchs at the Pacific Grove butterfly sanctuary have varied through the years. In addition to the western monarch, another population of the species, dubbed the eastern monarch, migrates every year from the upper midwestern United States to Mexico. The species is classified as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. While the Center for Biological Diversity said the eastern monarch had rebounded last winter to its “highest lev- els since 2006,” Panetta said, “we have seen a huge decline in the number of monarchs on the Central Coast and along their migratory path, as climate change continues to de- grade their habitat.” Panetta visited the Pacific Grove butterfly sanctuary last week to unveil the plan. “The monarch act will provide critical federal investment in the activities needed to save the western monarch butterfly population from extinction. By actively restoring and protecting key monarch habitats, we can also help facilitate the conservation of other essential pollinators,” he said in a statement. Called the “Monarch Action, Recovery, and Conser- vation of Habitat,” the legislation would allocate at least $12.5 million to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to help restore native milkweed and nectar plants and monarch overwintering habitat from 2021 to 2025. According to the bill, “the extinction of the population of migratory western monarch butterflies is now likely to occur within the next two decades if urgent action is not taken.” The other lawmakers who joined Panetta in introducing Women in the bill are California Democratic Rep. Salud Carbajal, BUSINESS Illinois Republican Rep. Rodney Davis, and Georgia Re- publican Rep. Rob Woodall. A companion bill was introduced in the Senate.

NEARLY TWO dozen firefighters from Carmel and nearby departments attacked a chimney fire that spread into the attic of this home on San Antonio near Second Avenue Saturday afternoon, according to Monterey Fire Division Chief Justin Cooper. The fire had been burning in the attic “for quite some time,” he said, and crews cut through the roof and through the ceiling to get to it. They extinguished the blaze and cleaned up the debris, and one crew stayed on scene all night to make sure nothing re- ignited. They managed to save the house, sustained $380,000 in structural damage and $200,000 to its contents, Cooper estimated. It’s currently uninhabitable.

The language of threats SEVERAL WEEKS ago, we wrote about the role euphemisms play in language and how phrases such as “at risk youth,” “enhanced interrogation technique” and “emerging economy nation” have been decried by everyone from George Orwell to George Carlin because they’re used to gloss over uncomfortable truths or let politicians avoid taking responsibility for their misdeeds. If you want to solve a problem, many great thinkers have observed, it’s better to confront it head on instead of sugarcoating it. The sword of misleading language cuts the other way, too, of course. Sometimes words are used not to divert attention from something harmful or dangerous, but to alarm people about an event or trend that’s serious but not quite as bad as it needs to be to be politically useful. For example, over the years, we’ve seen lots of people called Nazis who were no such thing. Events that were really just a blip on the timeline of human events have been deemed “historic.” News that will be forgotten within a day or two is often called “astonishing.” Words like “divisive,” “extreme,” “crushing,” “stark” and “vile” seem to crop up when a much less alarming word would do. And lately, of course, when a politician or pundit really wants to get the public riled up, they always seem to trot out the word “existential,” especial- ly when they can attach it to “threat.” What is an “existential threat”? It’s supposed to be something that threat- ens your very existence. To cite the most recent example, the coronavirus certainly can pose an existential threat to an individual who’s infected with it. But is it really an existential threat to the United States, or even the whole world? It’s been called that by lots of people. But do they really mean it? Hardly. What they really mean is to scare you. Meanwhile, hundreds of politicians, commentators and activists, including Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg and Nancy Pelosi, have called climate change an existential threat not just to mankind, but to the planet. Joe Biden calls President Donald Trump an “existential threat to the nation.” Accord- ing to New Jersey Sen.

State law also requires that contractors include their license number on all advertising. You can check the status of your licensed contractor at www2.cslb.ca.gov or 1-800-321-CSLB. Unlicensed contractors taking jobs that total less than $500 must state in their advertisements that they are not licensed by the Contractors State License Board. The PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION requires household movers to include their PUC license number in their ads. Contact the PUC at [email protected] February 28, 2020 The Carmel Pine Cone 35A
