"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

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.",

She helped build this solar microgrid as part of the tribe's goal to develop climate-resilient infrastructure and to be ready for earthquakes and tsunamis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then beginning in October, it became useful in a whole new way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The utility, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), shut off power to more than 30 counties in Central and Northern California on Oct. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[pullquote size='large' align='right' citation='Humboldt County Emergency Services Manager Ryan Derby']'Humboldt County prides itself on being resilient.

That continued, basically, for the duration of the 28-hour outage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As one of the only gas stations in the county with power, the reservation provided diesel to United Indian Health Services to refrigerate their medications and to the Mad River Fish Hatchery to keep their fish alive. The local newspaper used a hotel conference room to put out the next day's paper. Area residents stopped by to charge their cell phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ganion estimates that on that day more than 10,000 nearby residents came to the reservation for gas and supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Emergency plans 'thrown out the window'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>County officials had been warned about the utility shutoffs, but they didn't know they were happening until that day, said Ryan Derby, emergency services manager for Humboldt County, where Blue Lake Rancheria is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our entire planning model for the last 18 months got thrown out the window,\" Derby said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly, the rural county of 136,000 people was in the dark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Humboldt County prides itself on being resilient,\" Derby said, \"But I think in light of these public safety power shutoffs we realized how dependent we really are on electricity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county focused on residents who relied on medical devices like respirators or oxygen tanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Blue Lake Rancheria, Anita Huff was directing emergency services for people with critical medical needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had eight people here who could not have lived without electricity,\" Huff said. \"So, we saved eight lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tribe built the microgrid with help from the Schatz Energy Research Center at Humboldt State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Microgrids are very complex.

During an outage, the Blue Lake microgrid goes into \"island mode\" and a large Tesla battery system stores extra power and balances the energy supply and demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, Carter said, conventional solar arrays have to automatically shut down during outages for safety so they don't electrocute powerline maintenance workers or people who could come in contact with a downed line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Microgrids do come at a price. The Blue Lake installation cost $6.3 million. Five million dollars came from a California Energy Commission grant, and the tribe helped raise the rest. [aside tag='psps' label='Public Safety Power Shutoffs']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carter's lab at the Schatz Energy Research Center is looking for ways to lower the cost of microgrids.

She thought many of the people talking about climate change seemed fixated on difficult and technical scientific questions that were incomprehensible to all but the experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we asked, ‘Is there any way to put people at the center of their own experience with this, instead of beating them over the head with science or with polar bears?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project emphasizes king tides as a local preview of what’s in store as related to rising seas caused by climate change. As the Earth warms, water expands and occupies more space. Melting ice runs into the ocean and increases its volume. These two consequences of a warmer climate are so far estimated to have contributed equally to sea level rise, according to Lambertson. The temporary \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">—\u003c/span> for now \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">—\u003c/span> surge in sea level during king tides gives us a chance to observe the areas first on the list to be impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have to know all the science,” says Psaros. “You can just go out and see what’s at risk in your community, go out during a king tide and watch the water spill over the Embarcadero.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trying to Adapt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More sea level rise is certain, though exactly how fast it’s coming is unclear.

The district is also interested in building up new tidal marshes, which will act like sponges and slow the rise and fall of water levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, voters in Foster City overwhelmingly \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1924576/measure-p-foster-citys-90-million-tax-to-defend-against-rising-sea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approved\u003c/a> a tax on themselves to pay for raising a levee.

She remembers in particular working with a continuation high school where the students wanted to do more than just collect pictures of the tides. She created a survey for them with questions about climate change so they could gather responses from the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These kids were from everywhere and they were given this assignment to go talk to people in their community. So the results they brought back were … Tagalog and Vietnamese and Spanish and a bunch of languages and perspectives that governments want but often just can’t get,” Psaros said. “Newcomer communities are not [usually] showing up at the 7 p.m. community master plan meeting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Thus, the frequency of king tides is described differently by different sources \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">—\u003c/span> anywhere between 1-4 times a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area residents will be able to witness the first king tides of the year \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1954745/where-and-when-to-see-king-tides-in-the-bay-area-this-weekend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">throughout this weekend\u003c/a>, with a second set occuring Feb. 8-10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Glimpse of the Future\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inspiration for the creation of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.coastal.ca.gov/kingtides/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California King Tides Project\u003c/a> was a \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">perception that the public conversation around climate change was unhelpful and even counterproductive, says \u003c/span>Marina Psaros, the project’s co-founder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was about drowning polar bears and things that were happening far away,” said Psaros, who currently works for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission on clean energy. She thought many of the people talking about climate change seemed fixated on difficult and technical scientific questions that were incomprehensible to all but the experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we asked, ‘Is there any way to put people at the center of their own experience with this, instead of beating them over the head with science or with polar bears?'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project emphasizes king tides as a local preview of what’s in store as related to rising seas caused by climate change. As the Earth warms, water expands and occupies more space. Melting ice runs into the ocean and increases its volume. These two consequences of a warmer climate are so far estimated to have contributed equally to sea level rise, according to Lambertson. The temporary \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">—\u003c/span> for now \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">—\u003c/span> surge in sea level during king tides gives us a chance to observe the areas first on the list to be impacted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have to know all the science,” says Psaros. “You can just go out and see what’s at risk in your community, go out during a king tide and watch the water spill over the Embarcadero.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But in the new proposal, the White House said it determined it was “not appropriate” to address a single category of impacts in regulations. Instead, the proposal seeks to limit the scope of all NEPA reviews in a way that appears to rule out consideration of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only environmental effects that federal agencies would be required to consider are those that are “reasonably foreseeable and have a reasonably close causal relationship to the proposed action or alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Effects should not be considered significant if they are remote in time, geographically remote, or the product of a lengthy causal chain,” the proposal says. It also specifies that environmental reviews are not required under NEPA for non-discretionary decisions or for those with minimal federal funding or involvement—giving many developers an opportunity to elude the environmental review process altogether. The proposal sets a time limit of two years for detailed environmental reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund, said the proposal would “punch loopholes into long-standing protections under the National Environmental Policy Act and would put communities at risk and worsen climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, called it “one of the most egregious actions the Trump administration has taken to limit the federal government’s response to climate change yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s Red Tape Claims vs. White House Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, in essence, would fulfill \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-environment-nepa/industry-groups-urge-white-house-to-finish-overhauling-u-s-environmental-review-process-idUSKBN1XW1AU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a wish list delivered to the White House\u003c/a> last fall by 33 industry groups, led by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who complained of “unreasonable costs and long project delays” caused by NEPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>API President and CEO Mike Sommers praised the proposal in a prepared statement: “Reforming the NEPA process is a critical step toward meeting growing demand for cleaner energy and unlocking job-creating infrastructure projects currently stuck in a maze of red tape.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s description of the NEPA process—”It takes 20 years, 30 years, it takes numbers nobody would even believe”—is at odds with reality for the vast majority of projects. The White House Council on Environmental Quality’s own statistics show that 95 percent of the more than 50,000 actions subject to NEPA each year are already exempt from detailed environmental review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups argue that the subset of actions that require a detailed review—like the Keystone XL Pipeline—warrant the scrutiny, pointing to the spill of thousands of gallons of oil from the Keystone system in North Dakota this past October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Responsibilities as ‘Trustee of the Environment’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEPA, among the first environmental laws passed by Congress and signed by President Richard Nixon, requires comprehensive studies into the potential environmental impacts of “major” federal actions or projects—with an analysis of alternatives. The sweeping language of the statute asserts the federal government’s duty to “use all practical means. … To fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as trustee of the environment for succeeding generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a global multigenerational problem that affects all of humanity and natural resources, climate change would seem to fit precisely within what the statute has in mind,” said Michael Gerrard, founder and director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerrard, who spent many years as a litigator, said that if he were representing a project applicant he would want consideration of climate change included in the environmental impact analysis even if Trump succeeds in his NEPA overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a good chance the courts will … say it needs to be considered and an [environmental impact statement] could well be struck down for failure to consider it regardless of what this guidance says,” Gerrard said. “Rational planning involves looking at foreseeable conditions, and arguably it’s malpractice for an architect or engineer to ignore foreseeable considerations when designing a project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overhaul of NEPA guidance is just the latest of \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19122019/trump-climate-policy-record-rollback-fossil-energy-history-candidate-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dozens of actions by the Trump administration\u003c/a> to throw open the doors to unfettered fossil energy development and abandon even recognition of the threat of climate change. Just this week, the Trump administration released the federal government’s latest annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Preparedness Report\u003c/a>, which for the first time in the eight-year history of the accounting of threats and hazards failed to mention climate change, drought or sea-level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be a 60-day public comment period on the NEPA proposal, with public hearings scheduled in Denver and in Washington, D.C., in February.\u003c/p>\n\n",

James Inhofe (R-Okla.) led \u003ca href=\"https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2010/4/post-1bc00795-802a-23ad-46c9-8d25ff8ecb50\">an effort to amend NEPA \u003c/a>to bar consideration of global warming impacts, but it never garnered sufficient support to advance in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the start, Trump took up the cause of NEPA reform with all the enthusiasm of a real estate developer who saw \u003ca href=\"https://www.eenews.net/stories/1060367799\">his own projects\u003c/a> derailed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nrdc.org/stories/fight-save-plum-island\">over environmental concerns\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His administration has issued and proposed five other pieces of guidance to circumscribe NEPA reviews, including a plan floated last summer to limit consideration of greenhouse gas emissions in planning for federal projects. But in the new proposal, the White House said it determined it was “not appropriate” to address a single category of impacts in regulations. Instead, the proposal seeks to limit the scope of all NEPA reviews in a way that appears to rule out consideration of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only environmental effects that federal agencies would be required to consider are those that are “reasonably foreseeable and have a reasonably close causal relationship to the proposed action or alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Effects should not be considered significant if they are remote in time, geographically remote, or the product of a lengthy causal chain,” the proposal says. It also specifies that environmental reviews are not required under NEPA for non-discretionary decisions or for those with minimal federal funding or involvement—giving many developers an opportunity to elude the environmental review process altogether. The proposal sets a time limit of two years for detailed environmental reviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vickie Patton, general counsel of the Environmental Defense Fund, said the proposal would “punch loopholes into long-standing protections under the National Environmental Policy Act and would put communities at risk and worsen climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, called it “one of the most egregious actions the Trump administration has taken to limit the federal government’s response to climate change yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s Red Tape Claims vs. White House Data\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, in essence, would fulfill \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-environment-nepa/industry-groups-urge-white-house-to-finish-overhauling-u-s-environmental-review-process-idUSKBN1XW1AU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a wish list delivered to the White House\u003c/a> last fall by 33 industry groups, led by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who complained of “unreasonable costs and long project delays” caused by NEPA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>API President and CEO Mike Sommers praised the proposal in a prepared statement: “Reforming the NEPA process is a critical step toward meeting growing demand for cleaner energy and unlocking job-creating infrastructure projects currently stuck in a maze of red tape.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s description of the NEPA process—”It takes 20 years, 30 years, it takes numbers nobody would even believe”—is at odds with reality for the vast majority of projects. The White House Council on Environmental Quality’s own statistics show that 95 percent of the more than 50,000 actions subject to NEPA each year are already exempt from detailed environmental review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmental groups argue that the subset of actions that require a detailed review—like the Keystone XL Pipeline—warrant the scrutiny, pointing to the spill of thousands of gallons of oil from the Keystone system in North Dakota this past October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Responsibilities as ‘Trustee of the Environment’ \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEPA, among the first environmental laws passed by Congress and signed by President Richard Nixon, requires comprehensive studies into the potential environmental impacts of “major” federal actions or projects—with an analysis of alternatives. The sweeping language of the statute asserts the federal government’s duty to “use all practical means. … To fulfill the responsibilities of each generation as trustee of the environment for succeeding generations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a global multigenerational problem that affects all of humanity and natural resources, climate change would seem to fit precisely within what the statute has in mind,” said Michael Gerrard, founder and director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gerrard, who spent many years as a litigator, said that if he were representing a project applicant he would want consideration of climate change included in the environmental impact analysis even if Trump succeeds in his NEPA overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a good chance the courts will … say it needs to be considered and an [environmental impact statement] could well be struck down for failure to consider it regardless of what this guidance says,” Gerrard said. “Rational planning involves looking at foreseeable conditions, and arguably it’s malpractice for an architect or engineer to ignore foreseeable considerations when designing a project.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overhaul of NEPA guidance is just the latest of \u003ca href=\"https://insideclimatenews.org/news/19122019/trump-climate-policy-record-rollback-fossil-energy-history-candidate-profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dozens of actions by the Trump administration\u003c/a> to throw open the doors to unfettered fossil energy development and abandon even recognition of the threat of climate change. Just this week, the Trump administration released the federal government’s latest annual \u003ca href=\"https://www.fema.gov/national-preparedness-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Preparedness Report\u003c/a>, which for the first time in the eight-year history of the accounting of threats and hazards failed to mention climate change, drought or sea-level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
