climate change is here today.e are already seeing impacts, and if we don't slow the carbon pollution responsible, the impacts will get more ceph severe. >> that's the big news. there is no place in the united states that's safe from it. >> we mentioned the extreme temperature changes, some of the national disasters. are there some other impacts that have arrived, maybe earlier than scientists expected? >> well, the extreme weather we have seen in the last three years is linked to climate change. we did an analysis and found that in the last three years, there were nearly three dozen extreme weather events that each caused a billion dollars worth of damages and together, they caused over 1200 fatalities and over $200,000,000,000 in total damages. >> that's just in the last three years. in 2012, it was the hottest year the united states has ever states. >> well, whether it's time for a nice cool dress? pauline, you are not just a fashion designer but somebody who is creating wearable tech, dresses that are solar pow

of climate change and you.oming up at the half hour. >>> violence in ukraine is spreading further. separatists across the east and southern regions continue to defy kiev. pro-russian rebels in liuhansk, are digging in. paul brennan is there. >> reporter: the basics are there. the are gathered around. if the russians come, luhansk could be the first stop. the pro-russian city would not oppose them. >> it's not a problem, i'm russian and born here. like serbs, born in kosovo. >> reporter: you were born in luhansk, but you see yourself as russian. >> i was born here, but i'm russian. >> this is no picnic in the part. some have sticks and table legs. others have brand new military kit. not supplied by russia. you went to a shop and bought all of this. >> yes. >> across town pro-russian leaders have been following event in odessa and slovyansk. what if the army comes here. >> translation: what happens in slovyansk was not an amity terror operation, it was a terror operation against ukranian people, people unsure abo

it is the predicate for legislative change, social change, public opinion shift in your favor. i can think of two wonderful examples, everyone would be familiar with the letter from the birmingham jail by dr. king which is not only briton for the new york times also a pamphlet by christian groups, civil rights groups with the intent of changing public perception about the urgency or the need of civil rights protests and civil rights revolution in the country. did these people are agitators', they don't understand how difficult it is to change this culture, why do they foment these confrontations that lead to violence. so with king in much the way of any pamphleteer throughout history sort of nailing his letter to the church door and appealing to for a shift in the way americans thought about race and it would prove highly effective. the second example i would cite to you quickly comes from experience i recently had. it is in "eyes on the prize" but i went through an experience recently where a group of congressmen and women went south, 50 years, next year will be 50 years after

in terms of change that are in the special use district we changed there were 3 key changes that are significant to point out first, the zone is its f one and two it's a zone to be xvent with the site primarily housing and mixed use we're changing the zoning to mixed use and a formula for retail both look at the feasibility as well as the community desires they wanted to make sure that the good formula was attractive and help leeland as well as the new development so they didn't want to have anything that would discourage a tenant from lomg in the city so instead of having a conditional use requirements that would discourage the potential tenants they want to know what's happening so a thirty day notice but the approving or disapproving would be for the decoration of planning. the parks was increased primarily to allow a grocery store use to attract a grocery store tenant we changed that the new chaldean-american all the time cement for the vertical building permit applications there is in the special use district basically administrative application the purpose of having this da and

we also know that change happens we try to resist change and not always successful and change has police cruiser and minutes. the sign of a really healthy community is a couth that understands change happens and we also in addition to embracing that change need to embrace who we are as a community and not let that be taken away. when our able to balance both the change happens but the community is here that made the community whether the castro or the bayview or chinatown made that great when we achieve the balance we get the success it's achievable this is a great step forward. so supervisor campos i think this is an amendment you want to offer >> yes. you should have a copy of an amended version of the resolution bay - by the way, thank you, my staff on page one to include quote from san francisco scope an institution in the mission alejondra and an amendment on page 5 that just adds the some clarification about the theatre and it adds the name of a person hernandez and also an amendment on page 8 that actually includes the name even if eric the late ethics the a long time activist in

that if we were going to make any changes like splitting up the reserve, we'd also change the first and foremost of those changes regarding the lay offs. for that matter, allowing the majority to change the conditions. those actually came from the controller as well through sort of a brainstorming discussion and, you know, i think those are -- those would be very favorable to the district so i was happy to agree with those suggestions on his part. i think those are the two ideas that he proposed, which made a lot of sense to me. as far as the [inaudible]. >> right, it's really a reflection of the current charter language, which separates the amount that can be appropriated to the district to 25 percent of the balance of the reserve. >> i just wonder if that -- president fewer maybe was joking, but maybe not. i mean, maybe -- >> now i'm thinking that could we present something like that, that instead of 75/25, that it's 60/40? [laughter] >> and president fewer, are you referring to the distribution of the original split of the current balance? that might be something we could discuss. i

i think there were other than the changes that i mentioned there i don't recall any significant changes. you've noticed we talked about the letters listed in the budget so if we are anticipating bringing in more housing fees in the next year that's where credit is anticipates 40 millions in the reserves that are available in the following year we not going to spend every dollar but each year what's coming in i don't think that's changed porsche other than the items i've can't take down >> through the chair the last year's budget 2013-2014 you approved table two showed about a third of our dollars were for affordable housing and third for infrastructure and others you can see it's consistent with the directors presentation it's shifted due to the fact we're not anticipating got out for infrastructure bonds in particular in mission bay so, now our budget as table 23 shows the increase in the budget it's like 50 percent that's dropped to thirty percent and santa fe 11 the fact we're not issuing debt this year but the asset management and others so at a high level i think you asked chairper

natural drivers of climate cannot explain these changes. these changes are not due to the sun.they are not caused by natural cycles. the majority of the warming of the global scale over the last 50 years can only be explained by the effects of human influences, especially the effects of burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. this conclusion that human influences are the primary driver of recent climate changes based on independent evidence. one is a fundamental understanding of how certain gases trap heat, how the climate system response to increases in these gases, and how other human and natural factors influence climate. another reason comes from reconstruction of past climates, using evidence such as tree and corals. it shows temperatures over the past several decades are clearly unusual. the last decade warmer than anytime in the last 1300 years and perhaps much longer. another line of evidence comes from using models to simulate the climate of the past century. natural factors like the sun and volcanic activity would have slightly cooled the earth in the last 50 years

for future climate change.f plants, in fact, don't grow more under elevated carbon dioxide, it means that atmospheric co2 is liky to grow faster in the future than we have been anticipating. basically, what it means is that we can't continue to depend on ecosystems to subsidize our emissions of co2 from fossil-fuel combustion. narrator: the results from the jasper ridge global change experiment indicate that some of the projections for future carbon dioxide concentrations may, in fact, be too low. but we couldn't be confident in our answers unless we had collaborators in many other parts of the world who were doing experiments that are similar in some respects. weave collaborators at the university of minnesota who just found the same resas us -- that you didn't se a big grth response elevated atmospheric co2 unless you also provided nitrogen. a group working on a pine forest in north carolina recently published almost the same result. a group in nevada found that, even though elevated co2 increased plant growt

or not change?e of the astounding things. especially getting to see it through the eyes of the younger audience who perhaps weren't even worn when this was taking place in the early 80's -- when't even worn -- born this was taking place in the early 80's. there was blatant ignoring of what was happening because it foran uncomfortable topic game and we were allowed to ignore. that's why all the screaming and yelling went on. it was like, stop ignoring. that was a more acceptable way to treat the issue back then. to your point, there are still people around who would be fine with that type of treatment i am sure or that level of nontreatment as it were. beis no longer acceptable to .llowed ignoring or silence that is what has progressed. there is enough power in the hands of this minority group that you are not allowed to ignore it to that level anymore. but you are right. didn't see the sterling interview with anderson cooper. tavis: you didn't miss much. i didn't see it either. >> somebody told me h

water will change, and has that changes, that changes ability to grow and produce food and number. the public is not taking this seriously. a march poll found a third of americans cared a great deal about it, about the same as 1989. is some of the problem that predictions in the past have been overstated and people are turning a deaf ear. >> climate, almost by def nicks is diffuse, abstract and something that most think about in the future. i tell people we plan for a future climate but live in weather today. you start looking at the weather that we are living in today - what it is. increasing hotter summers. increasing droughts. when it rains, it rains harder and we tend to get floods and more of them, or more intense rain fallment we see the sea, and the storm surge from superstorm sandy, and a bunch of that was, in fact, because it was an elevated sea level rise. >> what do you think that will mean in the context of international conflict. >> i think it could go either one of two ways. it could be every person for themselves and be the accelerate and catalyst for instability or

the possible changes. one is that there would be two separate reserves created so right now instead of having the one plot of funds in the rainy day reserve, that there would be a split of the one reserve into two reserves. one would be for the district and one would be for the city and the city would receive 75 percent of the current balance and the district would receive 25 percent. and then if the say -- if and when the city in any year where they would make an additional deposit to the reserve then the same per centages would apply. in other words, we would use the funds to avoid lay offs rather than rescinding lay offs and that's proving to be a very process. the second change is who decides whether a draw should be taken. this change would allow the board of education without needing approval to decide -- to take a draw under certain conditions. the third change is that -- all of this is subject for the board to weigh in on and none of it is set in stone. it's just proposals we're bringing to you. th

let's talk about a change that's not appropriate. we don't recommend including subsidy companies in the definition of formula retail based on the businesses in san francisco this proposed change is unlikely to have a changing effect with only 12 locations are subsidies and most of those qualify as formula retail. the proposed definition is problematic a subsidy is 50 percent owned by a company it is a formula use it didn't have to have multiple locations this intense defines is hard to define and this slide shows a recent business they have in brick and mortar locations the proposals to count the subsidies as written may not capture the retailer it intends to regulate and futuristic there maybe economies of scales. including no subsidies can impact the owners this is an example. the owner of super duper you burgers opposes those others restaurants and under the property legislation; right when super depositor reaches the physical retail control each of the other businesses have truly unique and don't contribute they're they'll have n

science will change. adaptation options will change. risk preferences will change. you keep track of that and recognize that at some point in time you're going to make an adjustment, a midcourse adjustment with respect to how you're handling this particular problem. is there a macroeconomic analogy for someone who does that on a macro- scale? they make decisions on the money supply, periodically on the basis of what they observe. >> given how hard it is to make any policy response to any of these reports, the idea that over time we would constantly be a hard sale. we'll have more when we come back after this break. this is inside story. >> how old are you? >> 9 >> child labor in america >> in any other industry, kids need to be 16 years old to be able to work. you don't see any of that in agriculture >> low cost food >> how many of you get up at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning to go out to the fields? >> who's paying the price? fault lines... al jazeera america's hard hitting... ground breaking... truth seeking... >> they don't wanna show what's really going on... >>

change? >> i think if we look at this from a retail perspective, people are buying differently now. in general, the spring iser starting earlier, and therefore merchandise has to be rolled out earlier. of course it has a direct impact on our wallet as it relates to energy costs. this year was a little bit unusual in the u.s. because it was so cold, it was costing more to heat our homes, but in general, it costs more to heat our homes, and it's going to be more and more. >> you talk about retail. and what other industries would be affected? >> well, of course insurance. the insurance industry is probably in the forefront of adapting to climate change. studying effects and looking at ways to make homes more resilient. and spending a lot of time and money on developing new ways to build homes so they are more resilient and can stand up to the increased storms, and looking at how they calculate risk. and looking to see if the risks of hail storms and tornadoes is staying the same. and in general,

it doesn't change that at all. the thing that it does change as it takes a whole new group of people and creates on the system and quite possibly could create uncertainty and a lot of people in the victim and other folks. i don't know what this new system is. i don't know how it's going to handle it and maybe after couple of years working out the and figuring it out that problem is eliminated. it just doesn't improve the overall situation significantly enough i think to justify this radical change. believe me we are all looking for the switch to flick to fix this trouble and for you know the silver bullet answer with a piece of legislation. i don't think it exists. i think we are going to have to work tirelessly to keep the pressure on the military to make sure that they address this cultural problem and i think if we make this radical change the way we prosecute cases it's going to be more harm than good in getting to where we need to be. so i appreciate all the work and there are a lot of good things. ms. speier

you you know how much our city has changed and the biking has changed our city for for the better i wanto share a few examples i remember personally biking here two years ago i was left hand lane i was one of the few women out there biking hold on one second (sirens). i'm not left hand lane biking in san francisco anyway those of us biking make up 2/3rd's of the biking on market street in has a valley and the lower hate more than 10 percent of traffic on our streets 0 o is biking we see literally thousands of people ridding literally as for bike to work. 20 years ago biking honestly was an afterthought in our transportation system today, the city leaders know it's important to keep san francisco healthy just last week we've launched the bike to work program and special thanks to bart that lifted it's blackout on bikes altogether last year. we see employers really recognizing the value of biking their prior tisz inside biking for their staff and the off-street parking be replaced by bart corals and their 0 no dummies it make sense because people biking and walking and taking transit spend

so that was the biggest change and the other change that made it clear that the -- anything within the recreation park department would not be affected by this was that clarification really helped. the other concern was more minor, but important. was that the limitation of eight closed events per year on these plazas the question was can they all be concentrated at the best time of year? so the public would be allowed unfettered access to the plaza and no restriction for public access was an important change as well. with those, i would like to thank the mayor's office for making those changes that i think greatly improved the legislation. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> commissioners, my name is dennis moscovion and i recognize that the changes that were made in the legislation have improved it. however, i want to go back to an earlier testimony that i gave march 13th and my concern and maybe it picks up on something that commissioner sugaya said earlier around 660 3rd street. that once you open the door, sometimes it just simply can't turn back. it's like crossing t

orders and potential change orders pending change orders and the trends and we came up with a constructionstimate and then we looked at a bottom to top analysis of the soft cast as you know the product is in a declining mode in a sense the resources got to be reallocated and whether then we came up with the estimates. when you look at the key milestones we looked at the shut downs are and how can these schedules be mitigated and after doing that exercise this which was posted was created. this picture actually you might have seen earlier too it gives you a good feeling that what the progress has been made as you can see the local program is pretty much coming to conclusion there are 2 projects in construction one is completed essentially complete and the the last one the sutro reservoir project and you can see the projects are in construction and out of that the transmission upgrade all projects are going to be completed substantially in the next 12 months so good progress has been made. 63 out of the 83 projects are done. we have now in construction if we look at it, 18 months back when w

worried a lot about climate change and 66% of republicans worried about climate change.different of only one %. fast forward 25 years and you now have 83% of democrats who are very concerned about climate change and only 38% of republicans, which is a gap of 45 percentage points. >> let's talk about why people, why is there this gap in what people believe is really happening here and what your scientists will say about it? >> well, we know that the science on climate change has been settled for a very, very long time. i could show you headlines from 1979 that are saying essentially the same thing that today's report is saying. so the science has just gotten stronger, but what we see, what has been driving this, there are two factors. the first factor is that republican party and the democratic party split over the issue of climate change and have continued to split and polarize. it wasn't always the case, the act of global climate change research act in 1990, which authorized the national climate assessment report that we are seeing today was passed by 100 to zero in the

and change the parliament. and this is what happened in egypt. i'm not supporting the islamic brotherhood of them or the others, to be frank here publicly not myself at least if i put it this way. but we have to respect what the people choose. we are not a full democratic country in qatar. let me put it this way, we are a monarchy and our people and us we i think accept to live together in this way. but after 20 years a new idea will come to develop this relation between the monarchy and the people, we are doing this in 40 years. there is many development that happen in our region or in qatar let me put it in the monarchy within the next from the constitution, three -- there's constitution, there's parliament, there's many kind of election, trade election which people have no experience to do that before 20 years or 25 years. but in egypt if the people choose somebody and we support it and later they say why you support this guy well we did not choose him, he is choose by his own people. tomorrow it could happe

and the environment of the retail will change. the number one goal in my thought we need to keep san francisco vibrant and our streets active and the vacancy low that means choice and balance of choice means formula retail and sometimes small businesses i come from a small business background and opened more businesses than i can list understand the landlord tenant relationship and the competition and understand that, you know, running a small operation didn't mean you have small departments to combat. it's around formula retail the underlying thing is to protect the neighborhood commercial districts i think we're taking steps forward there were opposition and positive remark but we're better off right now with this particular policy so i think those are pretty much the comments and support of it moving forward obviously there's room for more tweaks but in general you're going this formula to think that citywide there are great streets in the neighborhood of san francisco that are unique and i wouldn't want to necessarily use blan

it can be changed. and i think that that sort of where the problem lies that we have a lot more transient residents in many districts now. but i say, if you are in dog patch and you want something different, i say get involved with your group and go to your supervisor and make the change. it can be done. >> commissioner dwight's comments of neighborhoods changing, i'm in upper market with huge changes with all of this new building and more new buildings coming and the thing that worries me the most, that we do have a lot of ground-floor retail coming on the market. and with the neighborhood groups, sometimes people want something and we don't get it. 95% of the people wanted a traders joe and told no. 95% of the people wanted a chipoltes and we were told no. so what worries me with certain controls being tested, there i'm just afraid of what you said to see a lot of vacancis and developers -- and sometimes a formula retail can subsidize that. my neighborhood is definitely changing with 3,000 new people

i'm emily chang.ech valuations and deciding to stay private during a volatile tech market, one company turning to the public market is true car, the auto buying website opening on the nasdaq. this was below the marketed range of $12-14 dollars per share. cory johnson is still with me and the ceo and founder is with us now from the nasdaq. the stock is up 17% since the open. why did you decide to go out now versus waiting a little while? >> obviously, it's a choppy market. the decision to go public is premised on where we are at in terms of building the brand, awareness, and the size of the company. we've gotten really good at predicting and forecasting the business at this point. we have a lot of confidence that we do prioritize profitability along with growth and we have the ability to balance those factors out. it was definitely a tough process getting out and we are really glad to be public. we are looking forward to driving great returns for our shareholders. >> scott, as a read about your busines
