His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The partial refinery shutdown is also expected to lead to a spike in higher gasoline prices throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Elizabeth Patterson said she's gotten a flood of phone calls and emails from residents wanting to know why it took so long for Valero to suspend refinery operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11735475 label='Refinery Incidents Impact Gas Prices']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lack of understanding about how coke particulates could be continuously emitted throughout a couple of weeks,\" Patterson said. \"There's not a lot of information that's readily available to the public.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health began a probe into Valero on Monday, the day after the company began the gradual shutdown of a significant portion of the refinery, according to agency spokesman Frank Polizzi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal/OSHA becomes the latest government agency to look into the breakdown of a key piece of equipment inside the refinery that went down two weeks ago.

That meant the facility's smokestacks began belching a sooty plume of petroleum coke dust — minute carbon particles that are a byproduct of the oil refining process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial problem prompted the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to issue eight \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11733145/air-district-hits-valero-with-violations-over-benicia-refinery-releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notices of violation\u003c/a> against Valero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air district and Solano County health officials said during the following days that the flue gas scrubber had been fixed and the coke dust releases were intermittent and gradually coming to an end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the black smoke returned on Saturday. On Sunday, fire officials detected high levels of fine particulate matter, known as PM10, around the refinery and issued a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735065/problems-at-valeros-benicia-refinery-increase-prompt-health-advisory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">health advisory\u003c/a> urging people with respiratory issues to stay indoors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we were seeing was dark gray, almost black smoke coming from the flue gas scrubber unit,\" Benicia Fire Chief Josh Chadwick said Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PM10 is particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in diameter — larger than PM2.5 many became familiar with during last November's Camp Fire, when smoke from the huge Butte County blaze prompted health advisories throughout much of Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like PM2.5, the larger particulate matter is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EPA spokeswoman Soledad Calvino said the agency would not comment on ongoing or potential investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has said that once inhaled, petroleum coke dust can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The additional concern is that this is more toxic than the standard stuff you'd find in the atmosphere,\" said Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis. \"It's probably similar in toxicity to diesel exhaust, which is a known carcinogen because it's sooty in nature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday morning the wind in the Benicia area was blowing east to west at about 6 to 12 mph, according to meteorologist Jan Null.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That meant the coke dust was being blown toward residential neighborhoods, said Chadwick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was one of the big concerns I had,\" Chadwick said. \"We had a wind shift ... that really turned it back toward the city.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Several Residents Complain of Breathing Problems\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chadwick said the Benicia Fire Department received two 911 calls for respiratory complaints.

Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Friday, waiving certain environmental regulations to hasten local forest management projects throughout the state in preparation for the next wildfire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to get ahead of this by moving forward in an efficient and effective manner to protect lives and protect property before lives are lost and property is lost,” Newsom told an audience in Lake County, the site of several massive wildfires in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying he was declaring “an emergency in advance of an emergency” to protect communities most at risk of wildfire danger, Newsom stressed that the state could no longer afford to wait for fires to begin before deploying emergency resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got to step up our game; dare I say it, get our act together,” he said. “This fire season, it’s right around the corner and we cannot be once again flat-footed and just in a reactive and a suppression mode. We’ve got to be much more proactive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California experienced two of its most destructive and deadly wildfire seasons in 2017 and 2018, and experts say climate change continues to heighten the risk each year.

Newsom should reject the Trump approach of logging and rolling back critical environmental protections,” said Shaye Wolf, climate science director for the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center and other environmental groups said focusing on retrofitting and creating defensible space around homes is more effective than thinning forests, and that clearing trees might even create more danger by loosening soil that could cause mudslides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also pledged $50 million for fire preparedness in low-income communities and invited the private sector to introduce innovative fire protection proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order, which will apply to 35 clearance projects in Northern and Central California over the coming year, allows fire officials to work around multiple state regulations. Those include provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, one of the nation’s strictest state-level regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said sticking with the state’s normal forest management process would drastically slow down the ability to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these projects quite literally, not figuratively, could take two years to get done, or we could get them done in the next two months,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union representing state firefighters praised Newsom’s plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These circumstances are unusual, unpredictable, unseen in our lifetime, and courageous decisions that sometimes go against the political winds need to be made,” said Tim Edwards, president of CAL Fire Local 2881.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, praised Newsom for acting with urgency ahead of the wildfire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I stand ready to assist the Governor with any legislative action to eliminate bureaucratic roadblocks that could slow these projects,” she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While environmental groups bristled at Newsom’s plan, they continue to agree with him on a wide range of other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the whole we see (Newsom) as an ally on environmental issues,” said Kathryn Phillips, director of Sierra Club California. “I think what we’re disagreeing with here is an approach to a problem that we all recognize.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s environmental laws are designed to protect California’s soil stability, watershed and wildlife habitats, she said, and waiving environmental reviews could have unintended consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For some suspension of oversight now, what’s the consequence going to be later?” Phillips asked. “Are we going to end up having huge silt floods and mudslides?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Hope McKenney contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Friday, waiving certain environmental regulations to hasten local forest management projects throughout the state in preparation for the next wildfire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to get ahead of this by moving forward in an efficient and effective manner to protect lives and protect property before lives are lost and property is lost,” Newsom told an audience in Lake County, the site of several massive wildfires in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saying he was declaring “an emergency in advance of an emergency” to protect communities most at risk of wildfire danger, Newsom stressed that the state could no longer afford to wait for fires to begin before deploying emergency resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got to step up our game; dare I say it, get our act together,” he said. “This fire season, it’s right around the corner and we cannot be once again flat-footed and just in a reactive and a suppression mode. We’ve got to be much more proactive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California experienced two of its most destructive and deadly wildfire seasons in 2017 and 2018, and experts say climate change continues to heighten the risk each year. On recommendations from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Newsom is pushing to clear dead trees at an expedited pace, a move he said is essential to diminishing future threats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsom should reject the Trump approach of logging and rolling back critical environmental protections,” said Shaye Wolf, climate science director for the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center and other environmental groups said focusing on retrofitting and creating defensible space around homes is more effective than thinning forests, and that clearing trees might even create more danger by loosening soil that could cause mudslides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom also pledged $50 million for fire preparedness in low-income communities and invited the private sector to introduce innovative fire protection proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order, which will apply to 35 clearance projects in Northern and Central California over the coming year, allows fire officials to work around multiple state regulations. Those include provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, one of the nation’s strictest state-level regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said sticking with the state’s normal forest management process would drastically slow down the ability to act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these projects quite literally, not figuratively, could take two years to get done, or we could get them done in the next two months,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union representing state firefighters praised Newsom’s plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These circumstances are unusual, unpredictable, unseen in our lifetime, and courageous decisions that sometimes go against the political winds need to be made,” said Tim Edwards, president of CAL Fire Local 2881.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, praised Newsom for acting with urgency ahead of the wildfire season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I stand ready to assist the Governor with any legislative action to eliminate bureaucratic roadblocks that could slow these projects,” she said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While environmental groups bristled at Newsom’s plan, they continue to agree with him on a wide range of other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On the whole we see (Newsom) as an ally on environmental issues,” said Kathryn Phillips, director of Sierra Club California. “I think what we’re disagreeing with here is an approach to a problem that we all recognize.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s environmental laws are designed to protect California’s soil stability, watershed and wildlife habitats, she said, and waiving environmental reviews could have unintended consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For some suspension of oversight now, what’s the consequence going to be later?” Phillips asked. “Are we going to end up having huge silt floods and mudslides?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Hope McKenney contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And we're on track to have more than 60 percent of our energy to be carbon free by the end of 2020.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was the first in recent decades to deploy California National Guard troops as firefighters, dispatching them on July 4, 2008, after lightning storms sparked hundreds of fires, Guard Lt. Col. Jonathan Shiroma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many of the troops are being reassigned from the border this time, the Guard also is asking other service members if they want to participate, Shiroma said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The training is similar for firefighting and fire protection. Mohler said the troops also will receive some training in forest management, “so they’re not just out there cutting brush” but understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, firefighting crews generally cut fire lines down to mineral earth during active wildfires, while fuels-management crews often do less intensive thinning of trees and chaparral to slow advancing flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such preventive treatment often involves creating fuel breaks, which can range from stripping away all woody vegetation on wide strips of land to thinning larger trees and removing shorter trees, brush and debris to discourage fires from climbing into treetops and jumping from tree to tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside tag='north-bay-fires' label='Coverage of the North Bay fires']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the work damages forests and can be useless against wind-driven fires, like the one that jumped a river to rain embers on the Sierra Nevada foothills community of Paradise last year, killing 85 people in and around the Northern California city of 27,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cal Fire is taking the Trump approach, logging the forest and weakening critical environmental protections, and that’s the exact opposite of what we need to be doing,” said Shaye Wolf, a scientist at the Center for Biological Diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolf said a better approach is to make homes more fire-resistant while pruning vegetation immediately surrounding the structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, Cal Fire listed 35 fuel-reduction projects it wants to start immediately, covering more than 140 square miles — double the acreage in previous years. But state officials estimate 23,438 square miles of forestland need thinning or other restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a problem that’s going to get fixed overnight,” Mohler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such thinning operations are getting more attention in recent years, with the U.S. Forest Service estimating last month that 18 million trees died in California over the last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Mike Mohler, of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection']‘They will be boots on the ground doing fuels projects alongside Cal Fire crews.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency estimated that more than 147 million trees have died across nearly 15,625 square miles during a drought that began in 2010, while about 1.5 million dead trees have been cut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, investigations have often blamed recent wildfires on utilities not doing a good enough job of clearing vegetation around power lines and equipment. Democratic state Sen. Bill Dodd of Napa has proposed legislation that would require Cal Fire to tell utilities which trees and brush to remove and then inspect the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from Guard troops, Cal Fire also is creating 10 civilian fuels management crews this year. The 10-member crews could help with initial fire suppression if need be but will primarily reduce fuels, Mohler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be a pretty amazing sight to see as these crews get out there on the ground,” he said. “There’s hundreds of, unfortunately, Paradises cross the state, (so) the public needs to understand this.”\u003c/p>\n\n",
