new york city and walk around with the rat shoes to. with all the rat problem. yeah. no i was going to go there also. >> it's just like just a differentiate it, you know? right. all in the family, they're perfect for the subway after months of hype, the i pin is finally here. >> so you wear it on your lapel and it's actually meant to replace a smartphone. users will be able to make calls, send texts, and look up information through voice commands. and it costs $700. and on top of that, you will need to pay a monthly subscription fee of $24. the company behind it is called humane and was founded by some former apple employees. they are taking orders starting next thursday. does anybody know the price? 6.99. okay that's how it starts. i mean, i guess. but don't we have the apple watch if you want to wear something on you, that's smart, right? >> i don't know. it reminds me of like star trek, you know, when they hit the communicator kind of thing. so we're basically there. yeah, but i just don't. is that. is that any better than me looking up, you

know, scrolling through my phone and seeing who i want to like? that thing is so small. how am i how am i going to do anything with that? >> you need a magnifying glass. >> sandia you're right. i don't know. i mean, is this a millennial product, do you think is who's buying this? i mean, it's kind of cool that you don't have to put your hands on it like you can probably just talk to it, larry. >> it's right there. but again, i mean, i guess if you don't want something on your wrist because there is an alternative already, but you know, the thing is, voice to text is so bad. >> how is it going to understand what i'm saying? like, call kristin and he calls karina? i don't know. i don't know how this is going to work. >> we'll figure it out. >> i'm sure they'll figure it out. they'll work through the kinks, just like with the phones, right? >> sure. but no smart device can ever figure out what larry is actually saying. >> good point. kristin because. yeah, because. >> well,everind. >> we know why. >>

using the slightest of breezes. it's happening in tracy at a first of its kind facility that was debuted today. >> abc7 news reporter dustin dorsey was there and shows us how this technology helps slow the impact of climate change in the state and beyond. you're looking at the country's first commercial direct air capture, carbon dioxide removal facility here in tracy in an area with some of the worst air pollution

in the state. >> this technology is pushing california towards net zero. >> this facility is the closest thing we have to a time machine because it can turn back the clock and climate change, which we have been polluting with carbon. >> our atmosphere since the industrial revolution and you cannot pollute except except with this, we were on hand for a tour of the san francisco based company's facility heirlooms. >> direct air capture tech uses chemical reactions from limestone known as calcium hydroxide to remove 1000 tons of harmful co2 per year to provide cleaner breathing. >> we've identified a few different ways that nontoxic, very low cost, very low energy use, ways to substantially accelerate the rate that calcium hydroxide naturally takes up co2. >> and here's how it works as the wind blows through, co2 binds to limestone and the stacked sheets. once robots have determined enough co2 has been collected, they're brought to an all electric kiln where the carbon dioxide is burnt off and

stored in concrete to be used in bay area construction projects. the tons of co2 can now no longer harm the atmosphere. we are aiming for. >> you know, many, many millions of tons this decade, hundreds of millions and then billions into the into the next decade as well. >> it's a start. but in order to reach president joe biden's and governor gavin newsom's goals of net zero billions of tons of co2 need to be removed from the air annually, the goal is to scale the technology to $100 spent per one ton of removed carbon dioxide in the hopes of a cleaner world for tomorrow. >> this may be the first doc facility of its kind in america, but it cannot be the last. and it won't be the last. we'll build many more like it across america, across the planet to remove millions to billions of tons of co2 to meet our generational duty, to slow, stop and eventually reverse climate change in tracy, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> interesting. >> hopefully it works and we can science our way out of a lot of

the problems we're creating. >> i know we need that science to work fast. yes. >> yes. yes. yes >> all right. weather wise, pretty good right now. enjoy before things get a little dicey over the apac folks, next week is going to be rainy, but sandy of the weekend is looking good. >> it is, indeed. and larry and kristen, let's take a look at the forecast for apec as visitors come in tomorrow and the events get underway this weekend, it will be dry. so tomorrow, just a mix of sun and clouds. looking at mid 60s here in the city, filtered sunshine saturday and sunday is a little bit warmer. here's a live view from our pier 39 camera. just absolutely gorgeous for visitors or for all of us here. good air quality expected. the next three days on live doppler seven. you can see a lot of cloud cover right now. tomorrow afternoon, you are looking at a mix of sun and high clouds, low 60s to low 70s as we fast forward to saturday, it's a little warmer and sunday's even warmer inland. so we'll see those 70s in the picture. monday cools off, the breezes pick up, it clouds up.

and as we fast forward from monday night all the way through friday, this is an early look at how much rain we're expecting. many areas are looking at anywhere from one to just over two inches. it is going to change. but the accuweather seven day forecast, it does feature a dry weekend for veterans day ceremonies next week. level one system coming in for that early to middle part of next week. kristen and larry. >> all right. thank you, sandhya. all right. coming up, a lesson on king tides from the expert at the exp welcome to big tobacco's fantasyland. a new, healthier world without cigarettes. as long as you don't count the 6 trillion sold worldwide every year. and vaping won't lead to smoking,

bay area during the month of november. we focus on climate related topics that impact the environment, while also exploring ways to achieve a more sustainable future. so if this story right now is about royal tides, also known as king tides, or the extraordinarily large tides can frighten, but also fascinate the exploratorium explains what causes these tides at certain times of the year. >> hi, welcome. thank you for coming out to observe and learn more about the king tides. today we're experiencing the king tide. i like to call them the royal tides because it's more inclusive and those are the highest tides of the year that are happening today. today, there are about a foot above normal and there's a huge difference between the high and

the low. so today we have the highest highs and the lowest lows because of sea level rise. today's king tides are the future of normal high tides. you can see the original shoreline here goes all the way back to that transamerica pyramid. the exploratorium is partnering with the port of san francisco so that people understand why this is occurring and what we can do about it. the main thing that causes our tides is the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun in order to visualize this, i need four volunteers. as you will be the moon oceans. you're next to the earth. you're the oceans. you're on the earth. i have my moon, my earth and the oceans that surround the earth. so there is a gravitational attraction in between these two masses and the moon is the main influence on our tides. and because distance matters so much, this diameter, the diameter of the earth, it

means a lot more to the water on this side, there's a greater force on the water on this side than there is on the water on that side. so this ocean, could you take a giant step toward the moon, please? yes, there is a gravitational force on the earth itself. could you take a medium step toward the moon, please? there is a gravitational force on this side of the world, but it's smaller. can you take a baby step toward the moon, please? but see how the water got stretched out in space. and so now when my earth rotates this one quarter turn toward the ocean, we're going to have a high tide on this side of the earth. rotate a quarter turn toward me, a low tide on that same location on earth, a high tide. six hours later. and then one more and a low tide. so the earth literally rotates under

two tidal bulges every 24 hours. so can you just put this over your head, please? and i'm going to take the moon away and now you are the sun. the sun has half the tidal influence that the moon does that seems crazy, right? the sun is enormous. but you know what distance matters. and the moon is only a quarter of a million miles away from us. and the sun is way further. so we still get those tidal bulges on each side of the earth and the earth rotates underneath a tidal bulge at low tide, a tidal bulge and a low tide. also due to the sun. what happens when we have the sun and the moon both pulling on the earth's water? we have another model for that. we have three main players in the tidal magic of the sun, the moon and the earth. this would be the position of new moon, the sun, tide and the moon tide are basically additive. when the moon is new moon. this is full moon. but again, we have tidal extremes because the sun tide

and the moon tide are additive. those are called spring tides because the water literally springs up. spring tides. this orbit of the moon around the earth is not a perfect circle. the moon moves around the earth in an ellipse, and at some point it's actually closer to us. that cycle is every 29.5 days when it's closest, it's called perigee perigee is today perigee . and finally, in the earth's orbit around the sun, which is also an ellipse, we are closest to the sun at one time per year. happens at the beginning of january every year, perihelion. so here we are with the earth and the sun are close to the earth and the moon are close and we have a new moon or a full moon. all of these factors give us our king tides. matt's got boots on. he doesn't have to worry. people get excited because they see the water come up over the sidewalk

and i want to remind people that you know, is a little bit of excitement and maybe you got your boots wet. is going to be more serious in the future as climate change impacts start to affect water levels in the bay. >> things that don't normally get wet aren't supposed to get wet. we're going to start to get wet and it's going to start to cause damages and really disruption to everyday lives. so learning about it, learning what people can do to start to address it is really important. fascinate rating that'll do it for this edition of abc7 news at four. >> i'm larry biel, abc7 news at five is next. enjoy that sunset running is awesome. but her moderate to severe eczema would make her skin so uncomfortable. i was always so itchy especially when i was hot. now my skin doesn't itch as much. now we're staying ahead of her eczema. there's a power inside all of us to live our passion.
