Legalize the domestic ferret in California!

- Mindless all white male authoritarian bureaucrats of the California Fish & Game Commission refuse to legalize these domesticated pets even though they are legal in 48 other states.

- A state ballot initiative to legalize ferrets is too costly for the California ferret legalization movement.

- Arnold Schwarzenegger promised to sign legislation to legalize ferrets when he first ran for governor, but later reneged on that promise.

- California state legislators are currently too spineless to sponsor legalization legislation. Pressure needs to be put on them by the public to do so!

"Crazy February:" Media Mute on Climate Change

The images and news reports from Chihuahua, New Mexico and Texas were
gripping. Last week's sub-zero temperatures grew sheets of ice on the
walls of unheated homes. Water lines froze and burst, wells clammed up,
natural gas shortages left towns without heat and the normal functioning
of schools, business and factory production was thrown into chaos. On both
sides of the US-Mexico border, governors issued disaster declarations and
troops were called out to assist with emergency relief.

"We can call this historic", said Dave Novlan, meterologist for the
National Weather Service in the border town of Santa Teresa, New Mexico.

In neighboring Ciudad Juarez, a city already battered to the bone by
extreme criminal violence and economic crisis, 90,000 families were
reported without water the first weekend of February. Next door, in El
Paso, Texas, the city water utility took the extreme step of ordering
residents not to shower, wash cars and clothes and otherwise restrict
water usage until further notice.

In Aldama, Chihuahua, nearly three dozen animals--parrots,
snakes, crocodiles and a monkey froze to death at a private zoo,
while the epic freeze was suspected in the death of a $30,000 giraffe
at a zoo in Clovis, New Mexico.

As an old Mexican saying goes, "Crazy February" had come to town.

Across the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, at least 19 people were
reported dead from cold weather-related incidents by February 3, even
before the temperatures took more turns downward. By the end of the first
week of February, four additional victims were reported in the state of
Tamaulipas, which also borders Texas.

Of the 19 Chihuahua victims, nine reportedly succumbed from carbon monoxide
poisoining, six from hypothermia and four from burns. In a non-lethal
fire, Ciudad Juarez firemen unable to overcome frozen water lines were
forced to watch the historic building housing the Lion's Club burn down.

Earlier, in January, a broad swath of northern and central Mexico shivered
in the cold. Even in the tropical port of Puerto Vallarta, where thousands
of Canadian and US "snowbirds" pass the winter along with migratory
humpback whales every year, unusually low nightly temperatures had
residents and visitors snuggling up in sweaters and coats.

In northwestern Mexico, more than 1.3 million acres of grain, vegetable
and fruit crops were reportedly damaged or destroyed in the most recent
bout of extra cold weather. One farmer assessed the situation as a "total
loss."

Mexico's Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries counts on an
additional $100 million in disaster compensation funds this year. The
federal agency considers Mexico among the most vulnerable nations to
impacts from climate change in the Americas.

But Mexico's potential crop losses came at a time when a kilo of staple
corn tortillas was already fetching ten or more pesos, or one-fifth the
amount of the daily minimum wage. In 2011, some economists warn of further
rising food prices in the months ahead.

Probing slightly beyond the emergency nature of the extreme weather, which
by most accounts was the most severe spell since the 1950s or
1960s, some mass media outlets spoke about an archaic infrastructure or
the inability of the New Mexico Gas Company, for example, to supply enough
energy to freezing residents, 32,000 of whom were stranded without gas
heat for days on end.

Questions were raised about the liability of the private
company for customers' broken water lines, as well as company exports of
New Mexico-produced gas to outside markets while residents were deprived
of a vital heating source- almost as if the Land of Enchantment was a
classic energy colony.

But almost without fail, US and Mexican media coverage had one thing in
common: no mention of how human-induced climate change might be
responsible for the Deep Freeze of 2011. Indeed, media attention soon
focused on Super Bowl Sunday and Christina Aguilera's interesting
interpretation of the National Anthem.

The climate change omission extended into government and business circles.
Annette Gardinier, New Mexico Gas Company president, insisted the
freeze was a "50-year weather event" not experienced since 1971 and 1911,
and an emergency situation of similar magnitude was "unlikey" to happen
again.

In an Internet article, however, Santa Fe resident Subhangar Banerjee
noted the link between Artic warming and the predictions of climate
scientists of "more frequent and severe intensity winter storms" arising
from "human made climate change."

Banerjee also cited other evidence of climate change in
New Mexico, including the massive die-off of pinon trees since the turn of
the century, and the record high temperatures of 100 degrees that were
registered in the normally cool state capital of Santa Fe last June
and July. In contrast, February temperatures in Santa Fe plunged to -40
with the wind chill factor thrown in, according to Banerjee.
"This is my way of saying it's too cold for New Mexico," he wrote.

"Crazy February" arrived just as Congressman Fred Upton (R-Mi) rolled out
legislation designed to prevent the US Environmental Protection
Agency from limiting greenhouse gas emissions blamed for climate change by
the world's leading scientists.

Overall estimates of economic losses stemming from this month's ongoing
emergency or cost projections from similar future catastrophes
were not immediately reported.

Meantime, the second week of February kicked in with more cold weather
chilling the greater borderlands. In a statement, the US Federal Emergency
Managenent Agency's Region 6 assured residents it was working hard with
local counterparts to prepare for yet another "round of snow and ice."
Federal officials urged residents of New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Oklahoma to have an emergency kit ready and stay on the alert
for advisories from the authorities.
