Hello. Hello, friends. Welcome back to need
to know, I'm Baker Machado. Right time.
Now, for your good to know headlines. Let's
start with another side of the effect of climate change
. A new study published in nature yesterday found that
more than 56% of our oceans have changed color in
the last 20 years. Climate change likely to blame
for this using imagery from satellites all over the globe
. Researchers discovered that oceans, especially those near the
earth's equator are slowly becoming more green. Yeah,
oceans look greener because of the tiny organisms called phytoplankton
which are filled with chlorophyll. Other sea creatures feed
on that, which could mean that the ocean food
chains now will change in the future. The researchers
say it's hard to see those changes with your naked
eye. But if the climate change continues to accelerate
, which it will, it will become far more
noticeable, so less blue oceans, more green,
green and like local, local beaches. I mean
, I just thought maybe it was like either dirty
water or do you think uh 50% of us beaches
has feces in it? Exactly. Exactly. I
saw that story which is crazy because now it's like
you have a whole different perspective at the beach.
I don't want to go to the beach and there's
some great news for our travelers. The latest consumer
data report released yesterday shows that in June airfare prices
were down, 19% rental car prices were down 12%
. AAA says that gas prices are also over a
dollar cheaper than they were a year ago. But
according to the Wall Street Journal, crowds at amusement
Park like Disney World or Universal Studios are also smaller
than they've been in years. This suggests demand might
finally be slowing down for those experiences. People missed
out during the pandemic. So how is your spending
change since the pandemic? Well, this is interesting
, Bob Iger was asked earlier this morning on C
NBC about that Wall Street Journal story about Disney uh
parks uh attendance going down. He didn't say it
was because of his fight with uh with uh with
uh Florida Governor Ronda Santis. And he said that
the Wall Street Journal was construing some of the data
. But I feel like across the board, all
of our, all of our spending has completely changed
all over the place that inflation report was really big
because our prices and travel, in addition to rent
and cars have been some of the biggest drags on
inflation. Uh The CP I the last little while
. So now that you've got an airfare and travel
down is if the Biden administration can just basically tackle
how expensive it is to live right now. That
will bring down inflation even more than it is right
now. I mean, it is at 3% which
is higher than the 2% number that the Fed wants
. But if you can sort of tackle how expensive
things are to live right now, that would be
a huge boon for them. Finally breaking up.
No longer means having to say goodbye to your Netflix
profile and a new update, the streaming service now
allows allowing users to switch their profiles to an existing
account. Now, previously, you could only save
your profile by switching to a brand new account.
But now all you have to do is choose that
transfer to an existing account option. So whether you
broke up, moved out of your parents' house or
got a new roommate. Well, good news.
You won't lose all your watch history or your saved
list. Of course, you're still going to be
limited to sharing with those in your household. This
after Netflix recently introduced new rules to crack down on
uh password sharing. So this will be funny if
people start breaking up and they're like, OK,
well, this is how I found out I was
breaking up because they moved their Netflix uh profile to
another account breaking up. Is it hard enough?
You have to split everything they're living together in as
well? No. All right. Tune in.
All right. Tune in to our brand. I'm
taking my profile with me.
