How will we power our future? Can we create a healthy and clean economy?

Climate One at the Commonwealth Club is at the forefront of the global debate about energy, economy, and the environment.

Bringing together the brightest and most provocative leaders of our time,

Climate One is the place where big ideas get heard.

With thoughtful and insightful discussions on policy, business, science, and culture,

Climate One founder Greg Dalton gets to the heart of the matter.

It's our future. It's time to come together.

From the Commonwealth Club of California, I'm Greg Dalton.

Today we're going to see with three people who have spent their lives exploring and

protecting the world's oceans.

The seas generate much of the oxygen we breathe and drive much of the weather we think

about when we get dressed every day.

But most people know very

little about the ocean, a boat below the surface, and how it's related to climate change. In the next

hour, we'll explore how global warming is impacting the ocean and what you can do about it. We'll also

hear tales of drama and intrigue and violence on the high seas, as well as positive stories

about marine ecosystems coming back to life.

Leading us on this journey are three salty veterans of the sea.

Liz Taylor as president of DOER Marine

and Alameda-based company that builds robots and other vehicles

for deep sea exploration.
