The event is "Global Climate Action Summit". If you think that the need for action is science fiction, carry on.

But if you, like most at DU, feel that anthropomorphic climate change is established fact and not fiction, then it would be foolish to not edit your comment where you label the event a San Francisco Science Fiction event ( "SF SF event" ).

What you could have chosen instead to say, and I meant to post, is that the use of "SF" in the article title is simply ambiguous, given Harrison's role as Han Solo.
