Landscape paintings are Marcelo's bread and butter. And landscapes that feature the Golden Gate Bridge are among his favorites.
His paintings show the destruction to homes, vehicles and neighborhoods after deadly disasters that wiped entire communities off the map. Though he documents disasters of all kinds — natural and man-made — those two are among the worst, and have both been widely attributed to climate change.John Paul Marcelo painted this burned-out truck as part of a series of documentary paintings chronicling the destruction wrought by the Wine Country wildfires in 2017.
Dawson knows the first signs of a fog event well — almost as well as he knows the redwood trees around his office. And he began to wonder if the two were connected.Summertime fog is a well-known phenomenon in San Francisco. It's the fog that rolls in off the ocean and over the hills in the afternoon, enveloping the city by nightfall, and hanging silently in the air until it slowly dissipates in the morning sunshine.
It turns out there's another place where workers are always watching the sky: airports. Dawson said some of the Bay Area's airports had meticulous records that went back decades. The study was widely publicized. Nancy Hale, already concerned about climate change, found the news upsetting. "It's a lot of people out here," said another longtime neighborhood resident."Usually it's cold, foggy."
"Fog technically is tiny, tiny water droplets," Mayeda said."And for the Bay Area, our fog, the technical term is 'advection fog.' And that's just a fancy way of saying it's moving.""As that warm air rises inland, the cool marine air starts pouring over the hilltops," Mayeda said."So it kind of comes in and replaces it."
That means on a hot summer day, San Francisco might still see some cooling effects from the flattened fog, but Livermore and Pleasanton might be left to swelter in triple-digit temperatures. Those inland areas might also miss out on the moisture carried in by the fog — moisture that, until recently, had never really been measured.
KarlTheFog bunch of bullshxt!
KarlTheFog 👏🏽NO 👏🏽ONE 👏🏽CALLS👏🏽 IT 👏🏽THAT 👏🏽NAME. It’s just called, “the fog” despite what some random dude on Twitter wants to do trying to rewrite history.
