Markets right now I'm now a bit anxious about whether the Bank of Japan will be tweaking monetary policy at today's meeting. Earlier the The BOK reported the BOJ will discuss a shift toward tolerating higher domestic bond yields. Now Some economists are saying the BOJ could also set a higher inflation target as a justification for then altering yield curve control. Here's Peter Cheer at Academy Securities. There's no reason for Japanese yields to stay as low as they are. I think you will get more and more Japanese domestic buyers of JGB. So what started with the yen today in terms of strength could well continue and I think that's going to be a trend. I'm not sure why stocks acted as negatively as they did in the U .S. saying that could reverse itself. But I do think higher yield is probably here to stay a little bit and yen strength is a new thing. That is Peter Cheer at Academy Securities. By the way, Bloomberg bit higher. Thank you. Thank you.

The Crypto Conversation
"world meteorological association" Discussed on The Crypto Conversation
"Very much into the world of business analysis, systems analysis. My initial career was in the telecoms business, but I worked on a lot of emerging technologies, which gave me great exposure to business impact. I then moved into the world of mobile technology, actually I was very involved in the technology side of the first mobile company in Ireland, and from that I moved into the world of directory inquiries, believe it or not, and BPO with a number of roles as CEO, CTO, CEO with different companies. I was fortunate to have traveled quite a lot around the world and worked in many different places. Post staff, I moved into the world of financial services, but I wanted to kind of get involved in something where I felt I was really making a difference, to leave an impression for my kids, my grandkids, and basically for the planet in general. Four years ago, I met with Michael English and his background, very much web to loyalty programs and a serious technologist in the blockchain world, and we were involved in a different company on video commerce, and we started chatting about things that we might be able to do together, and from that was born the whole world of INPT, I mean initially we were looking at it as a web 2 project, but one of the challenges on that side of it really was around the traceability of carbon emissions and the bad reputation that it had, so it became obvious that the blockchain was the way to do this. We co -founded INPT, and we launched officially last October, so we've had significant interest and success so far in what we're doing, because everybody in the world understands what carbon emissions are, everybody knows that we need to do something, whether it's 80 year old or an 80 year old, it's known that climate change is a reality, and that something has to be done about it. Very much so Dennis, but you alluded to it I think yourself in that at carbon offsetting it's not necessarily very well understood, it's even a little bit controversial, so maybe just to begin with it would be great just to set the context of why that is, and then from there we can talk more about how I guess the blockchain really can help to solve some of those pain points if you like Dennis. Absolutely Andy, I suppose a lot of people hear about carbon emissions and carbon offsets, but there's not enough of education out there, it's just more bad news but not enough of a lot of action, so I normally say that politicians make policy but it's down to people to make change, and that's why I think it's down to each and every one of us to actually start making minor changes in how we go about our day to day life to actually reduce carbon emissions. Last year's almost 37 billion tonnes of carbon emissions emitted globally, it was also the year that the most awareness in the world of carbon emissions was in place, but we're not seeing any reduction, and actually two weeks ago the World Meteorological Association announced that the next five years are going to see further impact on climate across the globe, all driven by man -made activity, so carbon offsets, they occur when a polluting company will buy a carbon credit to make up for the greenhouse gases that it has emitted, and projects that reduce emissions like planting trees or renewable energy and that are where you actually get these carbon credits or offsets, and these projects they have real, they add real value to the environment, they ensure that companies, individuals, they have an active role in actually lowering carbon emissions globally, and one of the challenges that has been around for years is transparency and traceability of carbon credits, and we've seen a lot of bad press, and this has happened where you've double accounting, you've fraud, in some cases your carbon credit's been sold many times over, and you haven't had the controls that are necessary to ensure this doesn't happen, and that's why we believe that a blockchain solution is the ultimate way of doing this. At the moment we work with a partner on securing carbon credits that are completely traceable through the blockchain, and in time we plan to build our own international carbon registry so that projects that adhere to the UN process will actually only be available through IMPT. So we've got to do something, we've got to do something as a people, we've got to do something as a nation, as a world, to actually start reducing carbon emissions, or we're going to every year see serious impact to the planet. Yeah, you're right, Dennis, and it feels like sometimes it's just, I don't know, not to get too doom and gloom about it, but every now and again, there'll be some kind of protest locally wherever people might live, and that might bring it back into your local news headlines, but the only time it sort of reaches through on, I suppose, the global stage, at the moment it seems, Dennis, is when you get some kind of disaster which really is linked to the climate. So, you know, we get these kind of increasing fire season events in the hot places around the world, and of course here in New Zealand we've had a series of, yeah, just really extreme weather events, Dennis, that seem to be driven by climate change, but even then it's just, it's not always enough to really get people to take action. Absolutely, and, you know, that's why with INPT we looked at the approach, how can we make something simple for people, something about day -to -day lives, because if you're asking people to make a significant change in how they go about their day -to -day living, very few will do it. It'll be a very small cohort of people that will actually take this really seriously. And so INPT, basically the whole model is pretty straightforward. Initially when we launched our platform and our mobile apps, it's shopping with affiliated brands. The likes of Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, all of those, tens and tens of thousands of global brands. When you shop through our platform with these brands, you get basically impact points which are converted into tokens. Now those tokens can only be used to get a free carbon credit. We give you carbon credits as a result of those tokens. Those carbon credits then, we have a number of projects of which you can select your carbon credit, and you can retire that carbon credit to the project, you can hold the carbon credit, or you could trade that carbon credit in the open market. But basically by going about your normal online shopping, we are giving you free carbon credits. We've now started branching that out into basically Web2 and Ofnet. Only last week actually we launched our SaaS technology model which allows an individual to buy the rights to a country for INPT, and next week we'll be rolling out the ability for you to buy a region, a town, a city, an area, and the whole idea of that is to get more and more retailers on board, that they give back a small rebate to the purchaser, the shopper, and in return free carbon credits are given. They get the recognition in the shop and get more footfall because they're doing something to help the planet. And the shoppers who are going about their normal day -to -day type shopping are getting free carbon credits, and all of this is really what underpins the core reason of INPT. It's the core utility of what we're about. So continue your shopping, you get free carbon credits, and therefore the planet will actually benefit from that. That's why we call it the planet's name, and we're really framing it around this idea of INPT, Dennis, because we've seen there's been a real rise in INPT investing. So the idea that you can help facilitate social and economic change by making ethical investments, and this is very similar. You're trying to make it easy for people, because you're right, it's hard to get people to step outside of their daily life, but if you can integrate with their daily shopping habits and help them make an impact that way through, as you say, the planet's loyalty program, it just makes it easier. And I'm sure that it makes it easier to try and scale, because this won't work unless you can really scale it, Dennis. Absolutely. And when I look at the likes of having Amazon on board as a partner, they've got about 8 million brands, and then eBay, and Alibaba, AliExpress. We've already got eight airlines signed up. We're finding that it's a bit of a no -brainer for the retailer, because it makes complete sense. I want to get to the position where it becomes every touchpoint in the supply chain of products. So you take one of the big brands, they will look at how to distribute instead of using maybe diesel -powered trucks, they start getting into hybrids and electric. They then look at the supply chain of all their suppliers along the way to, if everybody does a little bit, it then becomes the norm, and you can just increase in that. Whereas if you look at some of the international government agreements, they talk about 2030 targets, 2040, 2050. Most of those politicians won't be in power, and some won't even be alive. A lot of it is done through taxation, which is one way to really earth people. But if you embed it into part of your day -to -day life, I mean, in one way, COVID was very good to to INPT, because it drove so many digital channels and what you can do about that. And that's made it very easy for us to actually push the online piece, and now moving to the offline is to actually broaden the reach of what it is we're about. And we've yet to find any company saying, no, I don't believe in this, it doesn't make any sense. It's so simple, and that's what everybody says, actually, this is so simple, why hasn't it been done before? And this is more a bottom -up approach, as opposed to a top -down approach. And I think that's why INPT is really becoming a global movement, which people will want to be part of, you know, your socially conscious shopping, and the feel -good factor. All of those things, I think, will feed nicely into where we want to take INPT. Sounds good, Dennis. All right, we'll talk through a little bit more about the token itself, than the INPT token. And I can see that you're launching a first -of -a -kind retail partnership network. Dennis says to be eligible, you must lock between 100 ,000 to 20 million INPT tokens, depending on the size of the country in which you operate. So there's a few moving parts going on here. But maybe, yeah, just to explain a little bit more about how the token side of things works, Dennis. Yeah, so, I mean, initially, just getting the INPT token up and running the last year was, basically, when we launched, it was to raise funds to actually build out the technology. And the marketing side of this, of course, is a significant cost as well. It needs to be constant, it needs to be global, and it needs to be focused on areas that we're engaged in, and trying to actually make a positive impact as quickly as possible. So what we've launched recently, our SaaS model software service, is basically the ability for individuals or businesses to actually take the rights to purchase a country or a region or a city. And they gain access then to as much of the INPT material to explain what that means to be. Merchants will sign up, they'll get access to an individual portal, and there's commissions based on how you actually expand the network and how you actually start to get INPT into more of the retailers, whether they're online or offline. And the whole idea here is, this is about broadening the reach. This is about people understanding what it is INPT is doing. This is about increasing footfall. And all of this, of course, is linked into what the utility of the token is. As I said earlier on, I mean, this initially, when we were looking at doing it, was being considered as a Web 2 project. We decided that very quickly to give us everything that we need, and the scale, and the best access to technology. We moved everything to the blockchain. And what we're doing now is creating a bridging technology from Web 3 to Web 2 to AuthNet. And that's all underpinned by the actual utility of the token itself. And for us, the biggest challenge is to have the constant flow of information out there through all the digital channels, through people like yourself, that everybody gets to understand what this is. You're just downloading an app. It's just a new shopping app. It's nice and straightforward. At the moment, of course, you need to have a wallet. But we're looking at ways to constantly simplify this to actually bring more and more people, especially the AuthNet shops, and bring everybody into the IMPT plan of solology program. On your website, there's quite a substantial list of the projects, the carbon offsetting projects, that you're working with around the world. All, of course, are accredited by globally recognized regulatory bodies. Projects include clean energy generation plants, forest conservation, wind farms, lots more. Do you want to just speak to one or two? Any that you think are particularly interesting? Yeah, Andy. We've got quite a diverse group of projects there already. Our plan is to actually grow that significantly. When we were looking at projects, the idea was, okay, let's get something that's reasonably diverse so people can actually have some choice, in different regions and locations. But the most important thing about the projects to us was that they were traceable and transparent so that people could actually make their own decisions. We're currently doing what you would call a B2C and a B2B2C environmental offering as part of what we're doing in IMPT shopping. But in time, as well, I want to get to the position of a B2B where we'll actually be selling carbon credits to some of the retailers. The shopping platform so that they can become more involved in the selection process. Ultimately, I'd like to get to a position where we actually engage on the ground in some of these projects themselves so that in a particular country, people that are shopping day to day as part of IMPT can actually go along and see what's happening and really have this sense of feeling and purpose. Part of the app development over the next couple of phases will be the ability to, when you're sitting down in your coffee shop, your pub, your restaurant, your friends at the weekend, you can compare the IMPT projects that you were involved in and that feel good factor that you're actually doing something without having to make a significant change how you go about it. There are so many projects out there, but we have to be so sure and so careful that everything is actually transparent and traceable and that's why we'll be developing our own carbon registry so that more and more projects will be available for our IMPT members. We'll keep an eye out for that, Dennis. As we finish off this part of the podcast, just before we go to the break, Dennis, please tell people where they can go to learn all about what you and the team are building at IMPT. Shout out your Twitter profiles, anything like that. What should people do? Where should they go? The main thing is www .impt .io. Everything that we do and we're about to do is covered on the website with some good explanation of what's happening. We've got some good online videos there as well. We're on Twitter. We're on impt token. We're on Instagram. We're on meta. We're growing all the social channels as much as we can. We're recently started really pushing on TikTok as well. We're targeting every age profile because it doesn't matter whether you're a very young person or a very old person, you can make a difference just by your shopping day to day. We are finding from our research that people in their 20s and 30s seem to be the largest cohort of people that will actually make really strong decisions about their shopping experience. If they see something that's socially conscious and appealing to them, they will spend more time shopping with something that they know is making an impact than those that won't. That's why it makes a lot of sense for more and more retailers to get on board with us as well. Got it. Thank you, Dennis. That website, again, impt .io. Link, of course, will be in the show notes. Let's go to that break and then we'll be back. We'll finish off. We'll have some fun. We'll run Dennis through the very famous crypto conversation. Hot take round back in one moment.

"Focusing on a major new warning on just how serious the climate situation is becoming. So serious Nathan, The New York Times points out global temperatures are likely to soar to record highs over the next 5 years, and that's according to the world meteorological association or organization rather. As you might remember, the record for the hottest year on earth was 2016, and there's a 98% chance 98% Nathan, according to The New York Times that at least one of the next 5 years will exceed that. While the average from this year to 2027 will almost certainly be the warmest for a 5 year period ever recorded. What's behind all this? Well, there's human caused global warming and the climate pattern known as il Nino. And the polar opposite of that apparently Steve in the New York Post on a coffee chain changing the elements of cold brew. Yes, I don't want to alarm you, because people are very, very passionate about their coffee, but the new post confirms that Starbucks is switching up its ice formula. Moving from moving from a classic cube to what's known as a nugget. It's basically like crushed ice only not so crushed. And so here's what we have according to the New York Post, a statement from Starbucks, as we continue to innovate and make investments in the Starbucks experience for our partners, Borussia's and customers. We are introducing new machines that make nugget ice to select stores this year. And as you can imagine, there is reaction from all over, especially in the Reddit sphere. One person says, the recipes aren't built for this type of ice, which will melt a lot faster and dilute the coffee and sweetness. Another agreed writing, no, I think the ice you guys have right now is so perfect. However, there are some people that seem to be okay with it. One person and I'm not sure the source on this writes, the ice is gonna be amazing. It's basically hospitalized and we all know hospitals have the best ice. I'm not sure where this comes from. I can't speak to the level of ice quality. So Nathan, I hope you're okay with this because coffee is a big deal, but for me, cold coffee is a complete contradiction in terms of coffee is always hot.

So if you're expecting a fun fill laughs, Travel Gant, uh, for the next couple minutes. I think you're going to be disappointed because as always, the climate change report is not good. For example, as one cold professional partner on coal summarizes Alan, his website common headline UN meaning you on report climate driven extreme weather disasters since 1970 increased fivefold costing trillions of dollars. He's referring to Report from the World Meteorological Organization and see the way I pronounced me, meteorological. They're perfectly the first time around him. Rather impressed with myself. Okay. The World Meteorological Association and The United States Office for United Nations Office for Disaster risk Reduction. Uh I don't know what so cheerful. It's such a depressing topic have issued a report finding that in the past 50 years there have been 11,000. Droughts, storms, extreme temperature and other extreme weather events, accounting for 50% of all disasters and three quarters of all known economic losses totaling $3.64 trillion and killing more than Two million people. That is an enormous death cower. Enormous cost count. Uh, they found that the climate emergency now underway from our habit of which we can't seem to break a burning coal, gasoline and natural gas has intensified droughts, super storms and heatwaves and made Droughts and heatwaves, more frequent droughts and hurricanes and cyclones, where the biggest takers of human life the bigger biggest killers, accounting for 650,000 lives and 577,000 lives, respectively.

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Hits Highest Level in at least 3 Million Years
"In our science fact of the day this just in according to the world meteorological association no you know flaming left wing think tank the a this is the W. ammo the literally the world meteorological association atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide CO two are now at the highest ever in three million years now that is longer than human history human history only goes back a couple hundred thousand years so atmosphere CO two levels right now are higher than when Lucy was around right the the pre human and a higher than when Lucy's ancestors were around getting Lucy was only about a million or so ago all of which means that our children and grandchildren can expect temperatures to continue to rise more extreme weather more sea level rise more destruction to marine life more destruction of land based ecosystems more death of insects and and stuff at the bottom of the food chain which then echoes up so that the birds die and and we're saying this right now you know sixty seventy percent of certain kinds of birds particularly the insect insectivorous birds drawn from our planet we're looking at at at an insect apocalypse right now and and this is just the very beginning we have not yet even hit one point five degrees Celsius increase in temperature over the bass line and the pre industrial base line I mean we're just about there but we haven't quite hit it and the bottom line what what all these climate scientists are saying is is that we have to stop it right there I can't go any farther and yet what is the industry doing right now and and in on the right wing media that is that is supportive of industry while they're making fun of the stuff I mean Michael Mann for example the the the scientist he's been a guest on this program many times as a brilliant easy university of Pennsylvania sciences he's the guy who invented the cop the hockey stick conception of the SCO to going up that Al Gore popularized bed professor of cleans climate science or atmospheric science or whatever it is add to Penn state university one of probably a top five climate scientists in the world Michael Mann me was made fun of by the competitive interest enterprise institute in their blog ran Samberg wrote that well first of all they they attacked Michael Mann they said that his science was nonsense and and that is so Penn state did an investigation because there was all this ball Rollin publicity Penn state did an investigation what they found was that he was totally stand up everything he said was true and the way he said it was fine and though he published it was in compliance with scientific rigorous scientific standards reviews stuff so the compatible devices that is one of these right wing think tanks in quotes it really just a propaganda show operation for industry guy name brand Sandburg wrote that Penn state had quote covered up one two in by Michael Mann and characterize man as quote the Jerry Sandusky of climate science because he had quote molested and tortured data in service of politicized science and then not a blog posted by hosted by the National Review online the national reviews the magazine that William F.
