this event which runs through friday at the mosconi center. a long line of dignitaries participating including former vice-president al gore, john kerry, activist alec baldwin as well as musician dave matthews. the adults not the only ones turning their attention to climate change. students from academy of sciences in golden gate park, it was sponsored by salesforce and the benioff ocean initiative. they were able to explore high seas and get their ocean passports stamped at a string of learning stations. >> as they enter into the doors, they know exactly what they have expected for the day. and behind me you'll see these different tabling activities, everything from micro plastics and a certification of corals and out in the courtyard we have amazing arts and crafts going on. >> dozens of salesforce employees volunteered as guides for the day to make sure the

kids had smooth sailing through their ocean experiences. >> and climate researchers say california will be hit with massively different climate change issues. sonya, vice-president of energy innovation and coauthor of designing climate solutions, a policy guide for low carbon energy, is here with me today. sonya, thank you for coming in and talking to us about this issue. now, we've had a lot of fires here in northern california over the past several years. they seem to just get worse. so much destruction we're seeing. do you think this is going to continue to increase? >> unfortunately it's likely to continue to increase. as we've already seen, about a degree of warming since the beginning of the industrial age due to climate change. we'll probably see am more droughts, some beach erosion. we've locked in a fair amount of changes into our atmosphere from the emissions we've let out. >> so, you mentioned a couple of

the other issues we may face here in california. differences between northern and southern california, facing different problems? >> yeah, one of the major issues that we're going to have is around the snow pack. so, how much rain is falling at what different times of the year, how much of it is remaining in snow. unfortunately, with less snow pack, that means we're going to see dryer times in the summer and perhaps floods in the winter. >> one of the things you and i were just talking about before we came on with this interview is that it's not necessarily too late. it isn't all doom and gloom. can you talk a little about things we can all do to help improve the situation? >> absolutely, yes. and i think it's really important to focus on the fact that there are still a lot of solutions that we can put in place today and california has already been a great leader on this. here in california we met our 2020 emissions goals four years early, and at the same time we've been able to thrive economically in terms of gdp growth compared to the rest of the country during that same time. so it's not a choice between

reducing greenhouse gas emissions and thriving economically. it's totally possible to do both. and also this week, the governor signed this bill which will enable us to get all of our electricity from clean sources by 2045. and that's one of the major components of how we can begin to solve this problem here in california and also to provide lessons for others in other parts of the world. >> and the governor obviously along with all these other people, leaders in this technology and trying to make sure that we can get ourselves to a good place, are all here in the bay area this week for the climate summit. do you think that can make a big difference? >> absolutely. it's a great opportunity for people to get together and to share their experiences, to share what works, to share what hasn't worked, and to then be able to just do better and move faster together. >> all right. sonya, we appreciate your coming in and giving us in insight on this. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right, larry. >> it's nice to hear there are

some positive stories out there because most of it, when you talk about climate change, tends to be the gloom and doom and what's coming in the future. doom and gloom, spencer christian? >> i'm trying to take a positive look at our weather right now. we've got bright skies as you can see, a live doppler 7 despite the presence of widespread high clouds. but look at the bright view there from our mount tam camera, looking down onto the bay. it's a beautiful afternoon. 61 degrees in san francisco, oakland 66. 72 degrees at mountain view and nay. 77 at morgan hill and 59 at half moon bay. check out this view. just lovely looking over san francisco. it is 76 degrees right now in santa rosa. napa 72. 70 novato, 72 fairfield, concord 75 and 73 in livermore. one more view from the east bay hills camera looking toward the west, northwest, and we have clouds in various levels of the atmosphere. these are our forecast features. it will be breezy to gusty and

so yeah. >> all right. my bad. sorry, tim. all right. what is the difference with these phones, the 10 s, 10 s max and -- i don't know, 10 sxr? >> the biggest difference -- i'll go through them. the iphone 10 s is the basically the standard iphone that comes out every year. it has the best features, it has the new cameras, the new chips, all that stuff. the 10 r is actually a -- i like to call it the rainbow one for the r. it's all the different colors. it's also got a slightly lower quality screen and it has less camera capability. >> okay. >> and the max, right, which is the kind of more expensive one, that one is the bigger screen. otherwise it's basically the same as the 10 s. so, if you're feeling like you want a bigger screen, that's where you're going. if you're feeling like a thousand dollars is a little too much to ask from you, you're looking at the r or the previous iphones like the iphone 7.

>> okay. one of the interesting things that took place today was the unveiling or reunveiling of the watch. i've been through the stores and you see -- everybody is looking at various devices. n hit anybo. now they've got some new features. one of the things, an electrocardiogram function which interesting. >> it's fascinating. apple is really pushing hard on this health stuff. i think part of the reason is that they've found that there is a bunch of people who are really interested who are doctors. there's a lot of interest from health care companies. there are a couple health care companies that are actually offering a discount on the watch and a discount on your health care if you -- >> really? >> guess what, they can track your heart information. they can track what kind of movement you're doing. so to them this is a really positive thing. it's kind of like when the car companies -- car insurance companies started offering a discount if you had a sensor in your car, they could know how often you speed and all that type of other stuff. this is where things are starting to move. don't get me wrong, i don't

think everyone is going to be wearing an apple watch tomorrow. i think the idea of adding more sensors to what we're wearing is a logical next step and this is kind of the bleeding edge of that. >> you think that's going to be a game changer for the watch? >> i think that it's going to make a difference. i think that there are going to be people, especially in the health field, who are going to be interested in this. another feature in the watch that's new is that it will actually detect when you fall. so if you think about first alert in elderly people, it will automatically detect when you fell and don't tell it okay, there will be people who will be interested in that. it will be interesting to see. first alert has the market corner there. maybe there is an opportunity for apple again to really push this health idea further. >> lastly, no more head phone jacks, gone, old school, ip, i'm stuck. >> it's interesting the head phone jack has been around for decades. part of the argument that apple said, it's time to move on. i think a lot of people are are not ready for it, yourself included.

but i will tell you that apple has been very successful with that, with cordless phones. and i think that this is something that just over time we're all going to end up with wireless headphones. it's just how it goes. >> i'm a late adopter. >> i feel for you. >> thanks so much for coming in. >> ian from cnet. >> announcer: now your accuweather forecast with spencer christian. >> lots of high clouds over the bay area. skies are quite bright so it's mostly a sunny day. overnight, a similar picture. we'll have high clouds moving through the bay area. it will be mostly clear inland. near the coast maybe a few low clouds and overnight lows will be mostly low to mid 50s. here's our forecast animation taking us into the overnight hours. high clouds continue to sbeep through. but they'll start to move out later in the day tomorrow so skies will get brighter. meanwhile we're see low clouds moving down the coasttorr a hig temperatures in the afternoon will range from low 60s at the coast to mainly mid and upper 60s right around the bay.
