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.",

He spent his life savings to live here. He wanted to raise his son like he grew up, within walking distance of the sea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Del Mar is a picturesque place; its name means “of the sea,” in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s becoming increasingly true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Del Mar is one of countless coastal communities in California and across the U.S. that is seeing the impacts of climate change and preparing for worse to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The feel-good here is gone.

The city is a national leader in that regard. But it also provides a good example of just how difficult and precarious even planning for sea level rise can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The feel-good here is gone,” Imperato says, standing outside of his home. “I thought they were going to bury me here, but if someone offered [to buy my house], I’d take it.

The median home value in Del Mar is about $2.5 million, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.zillow.com/del-mar-ca/home-values/\">real estate market app Zillow\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One oceanfront house in Imperato’s neighborhood is listed for sale for $24 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Del Mar, market value of all the properties in the managed retreat zone is estimated at $1.5 billion,” Gaasterland says. “Who’s going to pay for that? Certainly not the city of Del Mar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another problem is the topography of the area. There are bluffs to the north and south of Del Mar, making relocation of residents nearly impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the town approved a plan that included strategies like sand replenishment for its beaches and dredging of the San Dieguito River to lessen the chance of flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That plan was sent to the state’s coastal commission, where it’s waiting for review.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11709956\">MAP: See Whether Your Home Is at Risk From Rising Seas\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca>\u003cimg alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The California Coastal Commission, for its part, isn’t penalizing cities that don’t embrace the idea of managed retreat.

But for many, the more devastating effects still seem far away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not worried about the actual hazard because you can accept Mother Nature, and that may happen 100 years from now,” Imperato says, “What we’re afraid of is the regulations that are going to affect us today or tomorrow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imperato, like many homeowners in Del Mar, was happy that the city said no to managed retreat, but he’s still frustrated that it was considered in the first place.

There are bluffs to the north and south of Del Mar, making relocation of residents nearly impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the town approved a plan that included strategies like sand replenishment for its beaches and dredging of the San Dieguito River to lessen the chance of flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That plan was sent to the state’s coastal commission, where it’s waiting for review.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11709956\">MAP: See Whether Your Home Is at Risk From Rising Seas\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca>\u003cimg alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The California Coastal Commission, for its part, isn’t penalizing cities that don’t embrace the idea of managed retreat.

You either organize a retreat, or you do what’s called evacuation and you call FEMA because you’re flooded out,” he says. “We realize that’s the end of the line. But we want to try Plan A.

It lists examples that the government knew the Earth was warming as early as 1965, and it requests a court order for the government to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, as well as creating a national plan to “restore Earth’s energy balance” and “stabilize the climate system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The breadth of respondents’ claims is striking,” the Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/073018zr_8mjp.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">had said in an earlier court order\u003c/a>.

An unprecedented number of women are running for office nationwide, and the trend is holding true for California, where polls suggest that Democrats may pick up some congressional seats. Meanwhile, Republicans are looking to galvanize voters by raising anti-tax sentiment and campaigning for Proposition 6, which would repeal the gasoline tax hike and increased vehicle license fees adopted last year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Politico senior writer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie Orr, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tim Miller, Republican political consultant\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Climate Change Goals\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a new United Nations report sounded the alarm over worldwide climate again, warning that the most severe effects of climate change — increased flooding, drought, wildfires and heat waves — could start being felt as early as 2040. To avoid these crises, global carbon emissions would need to be slashed by 45 percent by 2030, according to the report.

An unprecedented number of women are running for office nationwide, and the trend is holding true for California, where polls suggest that Democrats may pick up some congressional seats. Meanwhile, Republicans are looking to galvanize voters by raising anti-tax sentiment and campaigning for Proposition 6, which would repeal the gasoline tax hike and increased vehicle license fees adopted last year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Politico senior writer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katie Orr, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tim Miller, Republican political consultant\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Climate Change Goals\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, a new United Nations report sounded the alarm over worldwide climate again, warning that the most severe effects of climate change — increased flooding, drought, wildfires and heat waves — could start being felt as early as 2040. To avoid these crises, global carbon emissions would need to be slashed by 45 percent by 2030, according to the report.

So is it time for them to spend some of their profits locally to address homelessness? The proponents of Proposition C think so. The San Francisco ballot measure would tax big businesses to fund homeless services and build housing. This week, Proposition C got about $2 million from Salesforce and its CEO Marc Benioff.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Molly Turner, UC Berkeley Haas School of Business lecturer\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s striking,” said Ian McHardy, co-director of the Center for Valley Fever at UC Davis. “We’re seeing double and triple the cases. It’s a catastrophic change, and it’s getting worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fungus typically infects the lungs after spores are inhaled (it is not contracted person-to-person), producing a persistent cough and chest pain or other flu-like symptoms that can require months of treatment. In some cases—like Purdie’s—it can spread. It can be hard to diagnose because it can mimic those of other ailments, and in many people symptoms fade away on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month, Gov. Jerry Brown signed three bills into law to help combat Valley fever. The current state budget includes $8 million for research and education, to keep more Californians from catching the infection and to foster better diagnoses so symptoms can be treated accurately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite the state response, experts say the disease likely will continue to expand, with more people getting it in more areas of the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/2017GL073524\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One big reason\u003c/a>, McHardy said, is climate change. A growing number of dust storms in California have spread the fungal spores far beyond the Central Valley, where the infections traditionally have been concentrated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/valley-fever-on-the-rise-in-us-southwest/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a direct correlation\u003c/a> between these dust storms and Valley fever, and we know climate change is increasing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/valley-fever-on-the-rise-in-us-southwest/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">extreme weather patterns here\u003c/a>, including the dust storms,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"2820\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11695473\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws.jpg 2200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-160x205.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-800x1025.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-1020x1307.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-936x1200.jpg 936w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-1920x2461.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-1180x1513.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-960x1231.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-240x308.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-375x481.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-520x667.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley fever is no longer strictly a Valley phenomenon. It has \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/climate-change-threats-and-solutions-sacramento-valley/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spread north to Sacramento\u003c/a> and west all the way to the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(In places) like Monterey, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo counties, where we don’t expect to find it, it’s becoming much more common,” McHardy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblyman Rudy Salas Jr. of Hanford wrote the three Valley fever bills the governor signed. He said the infection has been reported in 53 of California’s 58 counties, and he has family members and friends who have contracted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s health care costs have spiraled higher with the increase in infections, he said. “The costs to our health care system … were around $2 billion” in a 10-year period ending in 2011, Salas said, citing the most recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3810749/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">state cost study\u003c/a>. “And we have only seen an increase in cases since then.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $8 million is “the largest allocation in our state’s history specifically targeting Valley fever,” he said. About $3 million of it will go toward expansion of the Valley Fever Center in Kern County and its research on why some people who inhale the fungus get sick and others don’t. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Valley fever can resemble the flu, many physicians outside of the Central Valley don’t consider it in their diagnoses, even though the blood test to identify it is inexpensive and simple. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there are about 150,000 undiagnosed cases a year, and McHardy said he thinks the number is higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most dangerous manifestation is meningitis, he said—“and by the time they go to the hospital it’s too late, and I think a lot of people die from it without ever being diagnosed,” McHardy said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health doesn’t regularly track deaths from Valley fever but did compile statistics \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4937113/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in one study\u003c/a>. Officials concluded that 1,098 people died of the disease in California from 2000 to 2013, averaging about 73 deaths a year statewide. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The downside is obvious and can be terrifying, Purdie said. But he circled back to the bright side, saying that educating both patients and physicians to better recognize the infection could make a huge difference. Once people figure out they have Valley fever, especially in the earlier stages of the infection, he noted, it’s treatable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And “fortunately,” he added, “most people won’t get it as severely as I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Most cases surface between September and November, but through\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/CDPH%20Document%20Library/CocciinCAProvisionalMonthlyReport.pdf#search=valley%20fever\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> August this year more than 5,000 cases were reported\u003c/a> in California, putting the state on pace for a new record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing a huge increase in new cases in the past two-and-a-half years. It’s striking,” said Ian McHardy, co-director of the Center for Valley Fever at UC Davis. “We’re seeing double and triple the cases. It’s a catastrophic change, and it’s getting worse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fungus typically infects the lungs after spores are inhaled (it is not contracted person-to-person), producing a persistent cough and chest pain or other flu-like symptoms that can require months of treatment. In some cases—like Purdie’s—it can spread. It can be hard to diagnose because it can mimic those of other ailments, and in many people symptoms fade away on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This month, Gov. Jerry Brown signed three bills into law to help combat Valley fever. The current state budget includes $8 million for research and education, to keep more Californians from catching the infection and to foster better diagnoses so symptoms can be treated accurately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite the state response, experts say the disease likely will continue to expand, with more people getting it in more areas of the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/2017GL073524\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">One big reason\u003c/a>, McHardy said, is climate change. A growing number of dust storms in California have spread the fungal spores far beyond the Central Valley, where the infections traditionally have been concentrated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/valley-fever-on-the-rise-in-us-southwest/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a direct correlation\u003c/a> between these dust storms and Valley fever, and we know climate change is increasing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/valley-fever-on-the-rise-in-us-southwest/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">extreme weather patterns here\u003c/a>, including the dust storms,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2200\" height=\"2820\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11695473\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws.jpg 2200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-160x205.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-800x1025.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-1020x1307.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-936x1200.jpg 936w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-1920x2461.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-1180x1513.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-960x1231.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-240x308.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-375x481.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/Graphic_-Valley-fever-laws-520x667.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley fever is no longer strictly a Valley phenomenon. It has \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/climate-change-threats-and-solutions-sacramento-valley/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spread north to Sacramento\u003c/a> and west all the way to the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(In places) like Monterey, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo counties, where we don’t expect to find it, it’s becoming much more common,” McHardy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Assemblyman Rudy Salas Jr. of Hanford wrote the three Valley fever bills the governor signed. He said the infection has been reported in 53 of California’s 58 counties, and he has family members and friends who have contracted it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s health care costs have spiraled higher with the increase in infections, he said. “The costs to our health care system … were around $2 billion” in a 10-year period ending in 2011, Salas said, citing the most recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3810749/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">state cost study\u003c/a>. “And we have only seen an increase in cases since then.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $8 million is “the largest allocation in our state’s history specifically targeting Valley fever,” he said. About $3 million of it will go toward expansion of the Valley Fever Center in Kern County and its research on why some people who inhale the fungus get sick and others don’t. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Valley fever can resemble the flu, many physicians outside of the Central Valley don’t consider it in their diagnoses, even though the blood test to identify it is inexpensive and simple. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there are about 150,000 undiagnosed cases a year, and McHardy said he thinks the number is higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most dangerous manifestation is meningitis, he said—“and by the time they go to the hospital it’s too late, and I think a lot of people die from it without ever being diagnosed,” McHardy said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health doesn’t regularly track deaths from Valley fever but did compile statistics \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4937113/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in one study\u003c/a>. Officials concluded that 1,098 people died of the disease in California from 2000 to 2013, averaging about 73 deaths a year statewide. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The downside is obvious and can be terrifying, Purdie said. But he circled back to the bright side, saying that educating both patients and physicians to better recognize the infection could make a huge difference. Once people figure out they have Valley fever, especially in the earlier stages of the infection, he noted, it’s treatable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And “fortunately,” he added, “most people won’t get it as severely as I did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
