Beachgoers 00:03:43.449 --> 00:03:46.250 in Ocean Beach are growing increasingly frustrated 00:03:46.250 --> 00:03:48.689 with the prolonged wait for the reconstruction 00:03:48.689 --> 00:03:52.729 of the Ocean Beach Pier. The pier has been closed 00:03:52.729 --> 00:03:56.710 since October 2023, following years of damage 00:03:56.710 --> 00:04:00.729 from storms and ocean erosion. Chelsea Benells, 00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:04.050 a lifelong San Diego resident, expressed her 00:04:04.050 --> 00:04:06.490 hope that the project will not be abandoned due 00:04:06.490 --> 00:04:10.169 to funding issues. The new design, approved after 00:04:10.169 --> 00:04:14.520 public input, is estimated to cost between $170 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:19.600 million and $190 million, with state and federal 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.560 grants expected to cover most of the expenses. 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.180 The City of San Diego has begun the permitting 00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:29.220 and environmental review process for the Ocean 00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:37.300 Beach Pier Renewal Project. Now onto sports. 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.660 Last night, Kansas City witnessed a significant 00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:44.800 clash as the Houston Texans defeated the Chiefs 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:49.060 20 -10, stifling Patrick Mahomes with three interceptions. 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.540 The Texans, led by coach D 'Amico Ryanes, executed 00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:56.800 their game plan effectively, with CJ Stroud throwing 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.519 for 203 yards and a touchdown. Nico Collins contributed 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:07.490 four catches for 121 yards, while Darrow Gundiwell's 00:05:07.490 --> 00:05:11.490 touchdown run secured the victory. This win improved 00:05:11.490 --> 00:05:14.750 the Texans' record to eight wins and five losses, 00:05:15.110 --> 00:05:17.589 bolstering their playoff hopes, while the Chiefs 00:05:17.589 --> 00:05:20.649 dropped to six wins and seven losses, marking 00:05:20.649 --> 00:05:25.709 their worst start since 2012. And tonight, on 00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:28.269 Monday Night Football, the Chargers are set to 00:05:28.269 --> 00:05:31.189 face the Eagles, who have underperformed on defense 00:05:31.189 --> 00:05:33.550 this season, and their offense is struggling 00:05:33.550 --> 00:05:37.589 as well. Earlier in the year, this matchup seemed 00:05:37.589 --> 00:05:40.769 daunting, but now the reigning Super Bowl champions 00:05:40.769 --> 00:05:44.629 appear more like a house cat than a lion. Jalen 00:05:44.629 --> 00:05:47.410 Hurts is not throwing as effectively, and running 00:05:47.410 --> 00:05:50.189 back Saquon Barkley is on pace for far fewer 00:05:50.189 --> 00:05:53.129 than his 2 ,000 rushing yards from last year. 00:05:54.269 --> 00:05:56.490 Despite injuries, the Chargers have a chance 00:05:56.490 --> 00:05:59.930 to improve to 9 -4, but the Eagles will be a 00:05:59.930 --> 00:06:05.589 challenging opponent. In local sports, The Aztecs 00:06:05.589 --> 00:06:08.910 are heading to the Aylleda New Mexico Bowl, facing 00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:13.029 North Texas from the American Conference. FanDuel's 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:15.689 opening odds show San Diego State is favored 00:06:15.689 --> 00:06:20.110 by 4 .5 points, with an over -under of 55 .5 00:06:20.110 --> 00:06:24.569 points. This game is expected to be close, potentially 00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:28.680 coming down to the final minutes. San Diego State's 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.279 rushing attack, led by all conference running 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.279 back Lucky Sutton, will be crucial for their 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.240 success. Meanwhile, North Texas may be affected 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.720 by their head coach's recent move to Oklahoma 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:48.079 State. In top news, medical experts want caffeine 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.980 drinkers to know that while caffeine offers real 00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:54.000 health benefits, it can be harmful if consumed 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.779 excessively. Caffeine is America's most popular 00:06:58.779 --> 00:07:02.220 drug, with nearly 70 % of Americans drinking 00:07:02.220 --> 00:07:06.160 at least one caffeinated beverage daily. It is 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.079 now available in various forms, including gels 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.620 and pouches. The Food and Drug Administration 00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:16.259 advises a maximum of 400 milligrams of caffeine 00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:19.980 per day. While it can enhance mood and focus, 00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:22.660 excessive consumption can lead to side effects 00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:26.579 like anxiety and rapid heartbeat. Certain groups, 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.060 like pregnant women and individuals with heart 00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:31.839 issues, should be particularly cautious with 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:37.279 their intake. In business news, U .S. stock futures 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.139 were little changed, as investors anticipated 00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:42.980 another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve 00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:46.680 later this week. Dow Jones Industrial Average 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.540 futures, S &P 500 futures, and NASDAQ 100 futures 00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:55.839 were trading flat late Sunday. Stocks ended higher 00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:00.000 Friday with the S &P 500 and Nasdaq Composite 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.360 extending their winning streaks. The Fence Rate 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.800 Setting Committee will meet Tuesday and Wednesday 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.120 with Chair Jerome Powell scheduled to speak Wednesday 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.720 afternoon. Analysts expect Powell to announce 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.100 a rate cut and raise the bar for further easing 00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:19.500 at the press conference. In crypto movement, 00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:23.259 Bitcoin has unchanged over the weekend. at about 00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:28.160 $92 ,000.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:28.429 --> 00:09:32.269 science. Clues have emerged that reveal a much 00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:35.590 hotter history than we thought. The Paris Climate 00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:39.750 Accords in 2015 set an ambitious goal of keeping 00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:43.429 global temperatures at 1 .5 degrees Celsius above 00:09:43.429 --> 00:09:47.460 pre -industrial levels. However, a study claims 00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:49.799 we may have surpassed that threshold several 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.539 years ago. Researchers at the University Western 00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:57.120 Australia Oceans Institute analyzed long -lived 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:01.759 Caribbean sclerosponges dating back to the 1700s. 00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:05.159 They concluded that we exceeded 1 .7 degrees 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:10.039 Celsius in 2020. Malcolm McCulloch, the study's 00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.470 lead author, stated, times running out. Unfortunately, 00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:17.429 evidence suggests we are approaching that critical 00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:25.769 threshold. Paramount Plus has announced that 00:10:25.769 --> 00:10:28.970 Landman is its most important show following 00:10:28.970 --> 00:10:31.610 the departure of co -creator Taylor Sheridan 00:10:31.610 --> 00:10:36.500 to NBC Universal. With Billy Bob Thornton leading 00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:39.679 an all -star cast, Landman quickly became one 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.539 of television's most popular series after its 00:10:42.539 --> 00:10:46.399 late 2024 release. The series has officially 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.539 been renewed for Season 3, ensuring a continued 00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:53.840 exploration of the Nora story. Season 2's premiere 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.080 set new viewership records, with over 9 .2 million 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.940 streaming views in the first two days. Paramount's 00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:04.980 early renewal suggests that Landman may anchor 00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:08.100 the platform in a post -Sheridan era, promising 00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:12.399 a bright future for the series. Well, all righty, 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.440 folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.220 today, our quote comes from the American author 00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:24.039 and philosopher William Arthur Ward. And he said, 00:11:30.190 --> 00:11:33.850 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:33.850 --> 00:11:37.570 out our Instagram, YouTube and TikTok for some 00:11:37.570 --> 00:11:40.850 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:40.850 --> 00:11:44.389 the surf reports.
