Previous record-low water levels at Oroville were triggered by drought conditions exacerbated by climate change. While California consistently experiences drought, climate change has fueled especially high temperatures and dry soil that have significantly reduced water runoff into the reservoirs. Photos taken in 2021 and 2023 show how much more full Oroville is following the January storms:

An activist investor like Trian Partners' Nelson Peltz on Walt Disney 's (DIS) board could help prod the entertainment conglomerate to address its financial woes and implement much-needed changes to create long-term value for the company and its shareholders. "Lots of angry people ask me why I support Nelson Peltz for the Disney board, and I give a simple answer: What has this board done for its shareholders other than wipe out more shareholder money?" Nonetheless, Disney's board unanimously decided against offering Peltz a seat, according to an SEC filing the company submitted Tuesday. Peltz, whose next step in his fight is to convince voting Disney shareholders he deserves a board seat, has had success serving on several company boards. Wall Street has had a mixed reaction to Peltz's efforts to obtain a board seat.

Disney, Peltz explained, "is a lot more than a media company." Disney's streaming business lost nearly $1.5 billion last quarter. Given Disney's distressed balance sheet, Jim asked Peltz about streaming service Hulu.

People are trading down and shifting more toward value, he said, "and that bodes well for Planet Fitness." Planet Fitness CEO Chris Rondeau said members are exercising more, too: six times a month versus five times a month when Planet Fitness went public in 2015.
