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.",

Psychologists and therapists are increasingly seeing the toll climate change has on mental health, and are helping patients turn that despair into empowerment and psychological resilience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

First, she and some friends are starting a Good Grief group in the Bay Area that’s open to new people.

She doesn’t feel like she’s bringing other people down “when I talk about where my mind goes and how sad and dark it feels sometimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has also reinvigorated her desire to fight for the environment in several ways. First, she and some friends are starting a Good Grief group in the Bay Area that’s open to new people. Second, she is launching an outdoor class aimed at helping kids develop emotional resilience to face whatever challenges our society may face in the future. And third, she is hitting the streets: She and friends marched in the recent Global Climate Strike in downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]A[/dropcap] random weather question surfaces in the KQED newsroom, to wit: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“A member of my household (OK, my husband) would like to know why do some parts of the Bay Area always get more rain than others? We get the same storm systems, so why do parts of the North Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains get hit so much harder?”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone with a coffee mug that reads “Weather Geek,” I’ve been called upon to reply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to begin: Yes, it’s a real thing. There are parts of the North Bay, which the local office of the National Weather Service defines as stretching all the way to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line, that are well known for their high winter rain totals. Ditto for the area around Mount Tamalpais in Marin County and the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we’ve seen in our most recent series of storms, during which nearly 10 inches of rain has fallen in the mountains south of San Jose and nearly nine inches has come down in northern Sonoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main cause here, as in regions throughout California and the world, is local topography and what meteorologists term \u003ca href=\"https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=orographic+lifting\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">orographic lifting\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meteorologists point to other factors, too, especially the general tendency for rainfall to increase on the West Coast as one moves from south to north due to large-scale atmospheric factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, as to that orographic thing: That’s a process in which air colliding with obstacles in the landscape — mountains, ridges and hills — is forced to rise. Rising air cools, and the cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ggweather/status/827669195877908481\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When moisture-laden air is driven across coastal terrain by vigorous winter storm winds, that process of orographic lifting leads to significantly higher amounts of rainfall over the mountains and hills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, areas to the east of the high terrain are in “rain shadows” that receive dramatically lower amounts of precipitation than sites in or to the west of the mountains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens with orographics … that air flow that’s below two or three thousand feet, or in the case of San Francisco below a thousand feet, it can’t run through the mountains, so it gets forced up over the top,” says veteran Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null. “That process lifts that air up, and our better precipitation-producing clouds are those that have stronger vertical motions.

Jerry Brown signed a bill requiring California’s energy sources to be completely clean and renewable by 2045, thousands of people gathered in San Francisco for the Global Climate Action Summit. The three-day event, featuring politicians from around the world, CEOs from companies like Starbucks and Salesforce, and celebrities like Harrison Ford, was launched to show that cities, states, regions and industries are stepping up to meet the carbon-cutting targets of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement despite the Trump administration’s efforts to roll back environmental protections. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ci>\u003cb>Kurtis Alexander\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Francisco Chronicle reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Daniel Kammen\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">UC Berkeley energy professor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Testing and Tracking California’s Cannabis\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This week, the Associated Press reported that nearly 20 percent of California marijuana products failed tests to determine their potency and safety. Despite the safety and quality concerns, the laboratory tests for mildew, bacteria and THC concentrations offer an unprecedented look into cannabis in the regulated marketplace. Meanwhile, California is ramping up its efforts to track and trace cannabis to monitor its movement through the supply chain, from farms to dispensaries. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guests:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ci>\u003cb>David Downs\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California bureau chief for\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leafly.com\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cb>Josh Drayton\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spokesman for the California Cannabis Industry Association\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“The Browns of California”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the last 120 years, California has elected Democrats as governor just five times — and three of those times they have been from the same family.
