many alarm bells do we have to see before we wake up? it's starting to be a concentrated effort to do something to slow the pace of global warming. in the 1980's, one of the world's largest oil companies had an in-house panel of scientists that warned that we could have catastrophic results if we did not stop burning fossil fuels. that company fired the panel of scientists and invested liens of dollars in a -- millions of dollars in a disinformation campaign. julian: we are now reaping the rewards, ironically so. we appreciate. it stick with spencer. and the abc 7 weather team for important weather alerts. we are looking at another alert day tomorrow. we appreciated spencer. kristen: relatively cool francisco. three days ay from this year's aids walk. the fundraising walk is on sunday, july 16 atolden gate park. it benefits local aids programs
