Another Advisory Group that was created that recommended a plan to the Port Commission at the time. The Port Commission in 1997 approved that plan and upon approving the plan then the port also then went to work with the Planning Commission and the board of supervisors and mb dc to outline the policies appropriate for the waterfront with the citys planned policies for the waterfront and to align the various jurisdictions and to try to give careful and consistent focus what should be happening along that waterfront. As i mentioned there are mixed use Development Opportunities that are identified in the land use plan, and the bryant street opportunity area is one of those within the south beach area consisting of pier 3032 and sea wall lot 330. During the plan process it was always seen as an opportunity to create these mix use Maritime Developments that brought new opportunities for expansion and improvement of maritime uses with a mix of uses that would help to finance the bill taking

Ae com is a Global Engineering and Architecture Firm in San Francisco and here for years and working in collaboration with others for this project. Bill crocket is the head of the practice and leading the architectural effort for the project. Some of you maybe wondering what the name snow hitter mean. Its the name of a mountain in norway and craig dikeus has named the firm after this mountain. I believe he climbs it every summer. He sends his apologies and isnt climbing this week and couldnt make this presentation but will be here in the future and they do really beautiful and highly regarded cultural and arts performing venues amongst other types of buildings, so when we started the project our clients, the warriors, challenged snow hitter and ourselves to think how we could connect the city to the water and do that in an inspiring way that could create an iconic destination for San Francisco so we took inspiration from craigs w

Many thanks scott for that introduction and for the invitation to come and debate climate engineering with david here today. I want to talk a little bit about some of the implication but more about the social and political meaning of what it would mean to have a geoengineered planet and i want to draw on a bit of historical experiencexperienc e to get some idea of what that means. Now david has become the foremost advocate of geoengineering in response to Global Warming and in his new look a case for climate engineering if you put forward an innovative approach to solar geoengineering, that is the use of a fleet of planes to inject sulfuric acid into the upper atmosphere, the stratosphere to create a layer of tiny particles between the sun and the earth and i should point out that today we are going to be talking about this form o
