WEBVTT 00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:04.540 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.179 Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:13.660 and it's Monday, November 3rd. You'll be interested 00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:20.399 to know. 68 years ago, today, in 1957, Soviet 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.780 engineers launched Sputnik 2, carrying a small 00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:27.500 dog named Leika into orbit, demonstrating rapid 00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:31.609 progress in space -like capabilities. The successful 00:00:31.609 --> 00:00:34.670 orbital mission marked a major milestone in human 00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:38.289 curiosity and technological achievement, inspiring 00:00:38.289 --> 00:00:41.670 international focus on space exploration and 00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:46.950 scientific innovation. So now you know. And now, 00:00:47.350 --> 00:00:53.009 it's time for the weather report. This morning, 00:00:53.130 --> 00:00:56.909 it's mostly sunny and it feels like 36 degrees 00:00:56.909 --> 00:01:01.189 with 5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take 00:01:01.189 --> 00:01:04.349 place at 432, and it will rise again tomorrow 00:01:04.349 --> 00:01:08.590 at 621. It looks like we're in for some partly 00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.930 sunny conditions today, with a high near 60 and 00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:15.469 a gentle south wind blowing at 5 to 12, gusting 00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:20.849 up to 22 tonight.

For all you beach runners out there, the 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.420 first high tide Monday will be just after 830 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:39.760 with a low tide at 3. The nearshore gooey at 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.879 Cape Cod Bay reads 55 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.200 Looking ahead in the weather. Tuesday will be 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.379 sunny with a high near 57 and a west wind of 00:01:52.379 --> 00:01:56.260 about 13 to 16 miles per hour, gusting as high 00:01:56.260 --> 00:02:00.280 as 29. A mostly clear night follows with a low 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.340 near 41 and lighter west winds. Wednesday is 00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:06.859 mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain after 00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:10.840 5 p .m. and a high near 58. Then rain is likely 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.919 Wednesday night with a low near 42.

Bonjour, food 00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:39.849 enthusiasts. This podcast is brought to you by 00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:43.949 Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled 00:02:43.949 --> 00:02:47.469 on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas 00:02:47.469 --> 00:02:50.949 Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for culinary 00:02:50.949 --> 00:02:55.129 delights.

In local 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.780 news, lobster populations off New England have 00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:21.020 significantly declined, leading regulators to 00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:24.430 declare overfishing is occurring. The Atlantic 00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:27.069 States Marine Fisheries Commission reported a 00:03:27.069 --> 00:03:31.789 34 % drop since 2018, prompting potential new 00:03:31.789 --> 00:03:35.229 management measures for fishermen. Lobsters are 00:03:35.229 --> 00:03:39.090 a key seafood species valued at over $700 million 00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:42.710 last year, but their numbers have rapidly decreased 00:03:42.710 --> 00:03:46.189 in recent years. Most of the decline is happening 00:03:46.189 --> 00:03:48.770 in fishing areas off Maine and Massachusetts, 00:03:49.129 --> 00:03:51.270 where the southern New England stock remains 00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:55.229 depleted. Despite attempts to enforce new rules, 00:03:55.610 --> 00:03:57.909 fishermen have resisted changes that threaten 00:03:57.909 --> 00:04:07.530 their livelihoods. Now onto sports. In the latest 00:04:07.530 --> 00:04:11.229 NFL news, the Indianapolis Colts suffered a disappointing 00:04:11.229 --> 00:04:14.009 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a final 00:04:14.009 --> 00:04:19.050 score of 27 to 20. Porterback Daniel Jones struggled, 00:04:19.329 --> 00:04:22.120 leading to skepticism about his future. and the 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.339 Colts' Super Bowl aspirations. Despite a 7 -1 00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:29.100 record, doubts lingered due to this performance. 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:33.000 Jones, who had been strong all season, faced 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.920 pressure and made critical mistakes, resulting 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.019 in four turnovers. Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford 00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:42.860 shined for the Rams, throwing four touchdowns 00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:46.259 in a 34 -10 victory over the New Orleans Saints. 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.839 The Kansas City Chiefs also faced challenges. 00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:52.579 potentially impacting their playoff positioning 00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:56.560 after a loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Cincinnati 00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.439 Bengals defense remains a concern following a 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.040 last -minute defeat by the Chicago Bears. The 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.600 Atlanta Falcons continue to struggle with kicking 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.720 issues, while the Green Bay Packers lost to the 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.519 Carolina Panthers in a surprising upset. These 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.439 outcomes highlight the unpredictability of this 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:21.430 NFL season in local sports. The brutal loss by 00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:24.550 the Indianapolis Colts has surprisingly moved 00:05:24.550 --> 00:05:28.410 the Pats into a stunning playoff position. After 00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:32.129 a disastrous 2024 season, Hope surrounded the 00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:34.910 Patriots under Mike Frable's leadership with 00:05:34.910 --> 00:05:38.829 expectations for improvement. Now with a six 00:05:38.829 --> 00:05:41.790 -game winning streak, they have become a legitimate 00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:45.990 threat in the ASC. After beating the Falcons 00:05:45.990 --> 00:05:49.250 to reach seven wins and two losses, they hold 00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:52.649 the top seed in the conference. This season, 00:05:52.750 --> 00:05:55.449 the postseason is a real possibility as they 00:05:55.449 --> 00:05:58.129 prepare for a challenging matchup against the 00:05:58.129 --> 00:06:03.029 Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. In top news, 00:06:04.149 --> 00:06:07.569 more than 10 million YouTube TV customers lost 00:06:07.569 --> 00:06:12.329 access to ESPN, ABC, and other Disney channels 00:06:12.329 --> 00:06:15.470 Thursday night after contract negotiations over 00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:19.279 carriage fees collapsed. The dispute reflects 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.220 broader tensions, as programming companies demand 00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:25.500 higher fees for sports content, while pay television 00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:28.279 providers push back against rising subscriber 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.339 bills. College football and NFL games are among 00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:35.459 the affected programming, with no clear resolution 00:06:35.459 --> 00:06:39.420 timeline. YouTube TV stated, We know this is 00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:41.980 a frustrating and disappointing outcome for our 00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:45.560 subscribers. The blackout could lead to a $20 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.660 credit for subscribers if it lasts for an extended 00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:54.600 period. In business news, Donald Trump's grant 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.279 of clemency to Cheng Fengzhao, the founder of 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.500 Binance, highlights failures and checks on presidential 00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:05.899 power. During a recent exchange with CNN's Caitlin 00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:08.519 Collins, Trump dismissed questions about the 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.290 pardon, claiming Zheo had a lot of support. and 00:07:12.290 --> 00:07:16.750 was persecuted by the Biden administration. Zao, 00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:20.250 known as Tsidis, was convicted for failing to 00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:22.750 maintain an effective anti -money laundering 00:07:22.750 --> 00:07:26.529 program and has a net worth of roughly $60 billion. 00:07:27.990 --> 00:07:31.290 Despite his controversial pardon, Trump continues 00:07:31.290 --> 00:07:33.930 to benefit from the cryptocurrency industry, 00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:36.949 raising concerns about corruption and the integrity 00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:41.250 of the American political system. In crypto movement, 00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:46.319 Bitcoin is down 3 % over the weekend to $108 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:52.300 ,000. Ethereum is down 6 % to about $3 ,700. 00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.560 And XRP is unchanged at $2 .43. Moving on to 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.360 a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.300 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:10.100 national Pilates studio. to bring you some free 00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:14.379 classes, so listen up.

And now, 00:08:45.289 --> 00:08:49.809 back to the show. Let's talk science. The ocean 00:08:49.809 --> 00:08:52.429 is doing its best to absorb excess heat from 00:08:52.429 --> 00:08:55.529 greenhouse emissions, but once humanity achieves 00:08:55.529 --> 00:08:58.649 a net negative carbon economy, the consequences 00:08:58.649 --> 00:09:02.549 will be severe. A new study indicates that when 00:09:02.549 --> 00:09:05.409 cooling begins after fossil fuel use is stopped, 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.899 the ocean will burp excess heat, resembling the 00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:13.259 effects of humanity's fossil fuel era. This emphasizes 00:09:13.259 --> 00:09:16.399 the urgency of reducing emissions. Achieving 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.740 a net neutral world is crucial. The ocean produces 00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:24.980 50 % of our oxygen and absorbs 30 % of atmospheric 00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:29.320 carbon. Even in an ideal climate scenario, heat 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.799 trapped in the Southern Ocean could result in 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.580 significant warming effects for decades. This 00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:37.919 research highlights the complexity of our climate 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.559 goals, suggesting that the road to a healthier 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:46.840 planet is still challenging. And in entertainment 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.580 news, the National Football League announces 00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:53.659 that Sting will headline the Super Bowl branded 00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:57.059 concert amid controversy surrounding Bad Bunny. 00:09:57.710 --> 00:10:00.610 The Every Breath You Take singer will perform 00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:03.850 in San Francisco on February 6th at the Palace 00:10:03.850 --> 00:10:07.509 of Fine Arts, two days before Bad Bunny's halftime 00:10:07.509 --> 00:10:11.370 show. Sting's performance is part of the Super 00:10:11.370 --> 00:10:15.669 Bowl LX Studio 60 event, which promises unforgettable 00:10:15.669 --> 00:10:19.309 music entertainment. Tickets for Sting's concert 00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:25.049 start at $750 each. Despite criticism of Bad 00:10:25.049 --> 00:10:27.850 Bunny's selection for the halftime show, NFL 00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:30.870 commissioner Roger Goodell remains optimistic 00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:34.710 about the event. Sting previously performed at 00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:39.710 the Super Bowl halftime show in 2003. Well, all 00:10:39.710 --> 00:10:42.370 righty, folks. It's time for the quote of the 00:10:42.370 --> 00:10:46.509 day. And today, our quote comes from the American 00:10:46.509 --> 00:10:50.509 Marine biologist and conservationist Sylvia Earle. 00:10:51.330 --> 00:10:54.960 And she said, The ocean is the cornerstone of 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.980 Earth's life support system, providing oxygen, 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.159 regulating climate, and sustaining biodiversity. 00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:05.539 Yet it remains largely unexplored and undervalued. 00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:10.320 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.080 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.460 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:17.460 --> 00:11:21.019 the weather reports. Have an amazing day, my 00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:23.720 good friends. We'll see you tomorrow with another 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.980 episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
