Hi everybody. Can you hear me in back? Thank you for being here. First of all I should say my name is Rob Jackson. I'm a professor here in Earth System Science. I know some of you but not all of you and nice to be back in the classroom as always. That's my pleasure today to introduce Marcelo Mena who's really been an incredible mix of scientist, engineer and advocate and successful policy makers. That's what you'll hear about today and I'm excited to hear about it. To give you just a very brief background Marcelo has degrees in biochemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering. Both here in the United States at Iowa State and in Chile where he is from and is currently based. In the last five years just to give you a few examples of his high energy he was the environment minister for the country of Chile and he went from there to the World Bank and just recently was named the inaugural CEO for the brand new methane hub. The methane hub is a $300 million commitment from philanthropic organizations not to do research on methane but to reduce methane concentrations and emissions around the world. So it's really a result and solutions based effort. Marcelo is here on the west coast because these philanthropic organizations came together and are planning how to implement that. So we'll hear a bit about the hub but I think today we'll hear more about Marcelo's personal and professional mission. Let me give you just a few examples of what he accomplished as the environment minister. This is on the website from his TED talk. Marcelo spearheaded multiple environmental initiatives such as taxes on new car sales and power generation based on local and global air pollution, first of their kinds around the world. He helped craft a landmark agreement to phase out coal power generation in Chile. He created 45,000 square kilometers of national parks protected 1.3 million square kilometers of ocean and instituted the first national plastic bag ban in the Americas. So that's suffice it to say he got a lot done while he was environment minister and he's going to get a lot done as CEO of the methane hub so take it away Marcelo. Thank you so much. Yes thank you so much for the opportunity to speak. This is like probably my second in-person engagement since the pandemic so bear with me. So it should be coming up. Can you do something here with the screen or should be up? Do the classic plug it in and unplug it. Make sure it works. There we go. Okay good. I guess I got to switch it out. Cool. Thanks. Well first off we're in the middle of a discussion about climate change but when I worked in the World Bank I really liked Nicholas Stearns, one of the first economists that led the World Bank on this issue saying that if we want to overcome global poverty, climate change and global poverty are both sides of the same coin they must be addressed together if we fail on one we'll fail on the other. It's really important that we take that message home it's not about the environment it's about poverty it's about human well-being and also we have a tall task in order. I assume you've seen the requirements for meeting net zero or keeping warming under 1.5 degree but since we it's mitigation that we've never ever done at the scale and I guess the pandemic sort of gave us the hope for the first time would be in the right direction but of course we came back to our old ways and there's a rebound effect and a lot of the new energy that was required in many places actually coal again unfortunately. The Paris Agreement requires countries to have net zero emissions by 2050 and things are changing because in 2019 things were pretty bleak and I like to say that always think of these things in a positive way you know if we looked at what everybody was committing to it was a total disaster of a future but you know it's four years ago things have changed substantially the US is back in leadership roles however you know with all its complications it's way different to have a country committed to climate mitigation without in comparison to another one that is not same we have commitments by China, by India, the EU and almost 100 countries that have committed to net zero emissions by 2050 and these are some slides that I stole from Druchendale to limit warming to 1.5 degrees we had to reduce emissions by 45% net global by 2030 and if we want to do 2 degrees it's a little bit later than if we want to limit warming to 1.5 degrees we have to reach net zero by 2050 and a little bit later if we want to do 2 degrees again and this is something and something that we should focus but my focus in my career has always been trying to find the multiple reasons why we should be doing the right thing and many times it's looking at non CO2 pollutants overall that provide immediate health benefits that allow the political space under which to support these things because when you're in a small country like China that accounts for 0.3% of global emissions there are people that say you know why are we doing this what's in it for us it's the US where it's China where somebody else's fault but then you provide a pathway of lower energy cost and cleaner air which also provides multiple health benefits and so what we need to do is something we've never done before and it's about multiple changes it's about you know I heard a great speaker talking about is there a sustainable shrimp yes there is is there an all you can eat sustainable shrimp restaurant no there is not because it's about being balanced about having what you require overall and to me the whole fight is very strong because it's my kids it's this decade and so somebody that got in first grader now by the time they're freshman in high school that's when we had to reduce emissions by half right so it's a very difficult task but the positive thing and I'm going to go into the some global analysis new climate economy Nick Stern and others showed that actually meeting the Paris Agreement goals mitigating climate change actually provides substantial economic benefits and some of the work I did in the World Bank was actually to provide evidence of adaptation today there's a new report working group two ITCC talks about how vulnerable we are and how we're losing that window under which we need to adapt to climate change good evidence to also have adaptation not be the poor child of sibling of whatever the mitigation but actually having new opportunities to look at these things so investing in a early warning system very cost effective making infrastructure resilient very cost effective climate smart agriculture that's adapted to climate change also even some things that we have to do much more looking at the benefits of nature-based solutions is something we do not have a full handle on but whenever we have looked at the information there are substantial benefits protecting coastal ecosystems particularly are very cost effective and having sustainable or resilient water resources systems but then 2020 pandemic hits we know how vulnerable we are to these zoonotic diseases as we've expanded and encroached where different species used to live and around three fourths of new diseases are zoonotic in origin it has to do with biodiversity loss so the world is in the middle of a new agreement that's going to be in China I think it's this year which is the conference for biodiversity the CBD cup and the commitment that they're trying to achieve is the global deal for nature which is protecting 30% of the oceans and lands by 2030 and the good thing about it is that achieving that protection according to Waldron and others from Cambridge actually has five times more benefits than cost so therefore also conserving land conserving oceans keeping places sacred from extraction is very important so I am very proud to have contributed to have my own country increase the protection from 8% to 36% which is a substantial increase and I love the fact that these things actually come to have results that are positive I went to grad school here in the US I heard about the Chilean sea bass becoming fat in style then in a decade 95% of all resources were depleted orange ruffy also came in style 70-year-old fish you know prehistoric and very difficult to reproduce it were totally over depleted and I did meet a fisherman recently Juan Fernando Pequipalaba one of the places that we protected and he told me with a lot of emotion that it's great to fish things that had not been fished for 20 years having different species that haven't seen in a while so nature does recover if we stay away from our constant temptation to kill the golden goose before letting the eggs just be given to us overall so my country has had that depletion but we have changed that two-thirds of the fisheries are overfished and we've changed that tendency so our emissions first thing I would like about this plot is that they're on the rise as all growing economies have but we have sinks right we have a Patagonian forest we have multiple native trees so yeah net zero is an option but Santiago was very polluted in 1990 and we were net zero then so net zero doesn't mean clean air right so we have to still be looking at a pathway that's also just meets other goals it's not only about not having total emissions and so what I like about the pathway that we have to choose in Chile is that we have a very clear path with no regrets. Option A Sussri put out a report last year showing that Chile will lose 8 to 27 percent of its GDP by 2048, pretty 50 I put in there if we don't address climate change but if we actually went for net zero we actually would have more growth which I think is really important and I'll tell you a little bit of why this is sort of a consensus because it's not doesn't happen a lot that the left wing and the right wing all have a consensus that net zero is our pathway. First off 2013 I remember I gave a talk here in Stanford and talked about the things that we needed to do with President Bachelis administration and a lot of things we did and we actually had unexpected results. We started what I do believe to be an energy revolution and we did it three ways. We put a price on pollution and you can see not many countries in the world have put a price on pollution and none of them actually have it to the level that you require to reflect the externalities that are associated to the emissions that we want to regulate. One of the things that I also did with Chile was something I hope will be picked up again which is the carbon pricing of the America's declaration under which Chile, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington and Canada committed to have an integrated regional carbon price market. It hasn't picked up since I left but hopefully the new industry could pick that up. Another thing that happened was the power plant emissions standard. I want to give you this point because the first thing I said was climate related but the second thing is air pollution related and most people overlook when they see this only as a climate agenda they overlook these opportunities. I remember we did this regulation in 2009 and we showed that it had two times more benefits and costs and we were able to adopt the EU standard for emissions and even having something the US took a while to do which is forcing existing power plants to retrofit and meet that standard and that increased their capital costs at around 30% and changed the economics of power generation substantially. And so this picture I would get from people that would operate these plants. I was always the activist. I was always talking to the different community people and the guys would say we would shut off the power plant controls when there's no enforcement because obviously it takes up power when you have these controls and so what we did there was continuous monitoring of emissions. There's no lack of compliance. Then we put the carbon tax that's building on that capacity of continuous monitoring and so therefore it was great for me to when I visited the plants in 2017 and 2018 to come into the power plant and look at the guy trying to make sure two things occur. They look at the power output and how much carbon tax are paying and if they're meeting the emission standard and I think it's just great because since also the local air pollution portion of the tax is very substantial they actually went far beyond what was required by the emission standard because it was always cheaper to mitigate than to pay the tax which is much higher. One of the things that I liked about this whole approach including other stuff we did for air pollution which I haven't gotten into detail but essentially we did multiple air pollution control programs and the big newspaper went out to see probably wanted to look and see that we failed miserably at what we wanted but they figured out something I hadn't figured out they looked into emergency room visits for obstructive bronchial disease and it was actually reduced by 50% in many places that we had taken action and overall emergency room visits for kids between 0 and 14 years old were dropped around 30% so I have to say I'm very proud of this. This is probably the biggest goal that I've had because it's 500,000 cases.  So combination. Market conditions for end transition increased capital costs for power generation increased operational costs for the green tax, energy oxygen reform and then this cold phase out just was natural and I'll show you why in terms of economics. First off this is like the lasard level as cost of energy. These things have been present in Chile probably six years ahead of the global analysis so let no one ever tell you that new energy from solar and wind is not only the cheapest source of energy but actually the cheapest source of energy mankind has ever had. This I think is great news and IEA projects that we will have around 95% of all new energy globally to be renewable by 2030 so that's a fact. But also increasingly it's cheaper to build new renewable operations than to continue to operate existing power plants. Third battery storage is coming down fast and it will be covering the path of these resistance I believe We will probably have a future under which landlines transmission lines are going to be hard to build out anywhere LA, California overall, the US and Chile too. The last big transmission line we had was the nightmare I permitted it with the Minister of Energy. We are going millimeter by millimeter trying to get it pushed through. I don't think ten years down the line it's going to be easier at all. And the next one is not going to go through a desert it's going to go through where people live and it's going to be a nightmare. So what I think is going to be a lot of battery storage overall. This is another analysis from Bloomberg Energy Finance showing that this is the case also in China, India and Germany in which building new solar and wind is actually cheaper than continuing to operate existing power plants. So with my colleague the Minister of Energy we would always talk about that we were dancing to this song but we hadn't put a name on it with no new coal, right? So essentially at the end of the government we announced this coal phase out agreement and basically based out of economics. Other cool thing that we need to do now President Bachelet who had been known in her first government to have increased coal production because of natural gas shortages from Argentina got to have this agreement to phase out coal and I'm very proud of having contributed to that. But there's other baseload energy that we have to address and support. So CSP you guys have some CSP here in California constituted solar power they run 24-7 and so we have our first one that came in at $130 per megawatt hour but the new ones are actually coming at $30 per megawatt hour. So that takes us to another stage. Battery storage already starting out many places in Chile. The big companies like NG and NL are already building the first ones and I am sure anywhere we have solar power today probably will be backed up with battery storage because it's a way to do it because we cannot continue this pathway of super ultra cheap solar energy at this time being supported by expensive night time diesel or other sources. This project which is funded by the Green Climate Fund I truly want to succeed. It's actually from Stanford alumni. It's called Valhalla Energy and Espejo de la Paca. It's about having super cheap solar be used to pump up ocean water into this lagoon and have night time sea salt hydro work. They say they could deliver this energy around $60 per megawatt hour if they can. We've solved a lot of the battery storage requirements. We've solved a lot of the other type of energy that we don't want. And so there are different people that are thinking about 100% renewable and for example if we phased out coal faster by 2025 for example we would require substantial amount of new installed capacity. So the way that I see it because many policy makers think investment and growth is a good thing. But when it comes to environment they think this is negative. Oh it's going to cost us so much. But really it's about job creation. It is about investment and I think that's going to work out fine if we are smart about the way that we do it. But we have to be strong about the policy orientations we need to give to the technocrats. Because many times the technocrats are stuck with their old ways. They listen to the incumbents more than new players. And the big success of the Chilean energy policy was stopping listening to the incumbents and actually listening to the renewable energy sector that has proven its potential. So I think it's about mobility. I'm going to talk to you about that a little bit too. It is a problem and I think in the US it's a big problem that you have not a truly open market to cheap technologies if necessary. So I have a friend who works at the Department of Transportation in Minnesota and he's saying how come how do you guys have so many electric buses in Santiago? I'm like because they're Chinese or 300,000 each. We pay a million each one, right? So of course if you want to pay a million dollars for electric bus the payback from a diesel bus will never occur. But the thing is in our case the operational costs are substantially cheaper. A fourth of the maintenance costs in the electricity etc. So essentially the electric bus pays itself off in three years if you're having a five-year contract then you're going with no brainer decision of going for electric buses to be 100% of your new fleet. So today we have 1500 electric buses and we probably could if we wanted to have 100% electric buses. The incoming Bodic administration who has very talented transport minister and the very talented environment minister proposed to have free transportation and it probably could be achieved easier with lower operational costs associated to electric ways of production and transportation. Now what's going on today though, we are at 24% renewable energy which is an astounding accomplishment considering the fact that we had no solar and wind in 2014 basically. So that's great. The bad thing though is that last year coal grew from 30 to 35% which is bad news and goes to show that the phase-out agreement that we did could have been a little bit tighter, could have been a little bit more stringent, some sticks could have been thrown too many carats because essentially the operation was the plants that were put in the plan were probably plants that never operated that much anyway. Just I'm going to go to the last portion of the presentation talking about why we could go to net zero faster because of course yeah, 2050 is fine but this is a little bit like don't look up. You want to shoot the comet just at the right thing but what happens if you miss if you miss you had one shot and then in 2040 I believe should be the date and I'll show you our NDC what it's about. Today I do respect the fact that in the middle of the pandemic somebody would commit to net zero. This is 2020, nobody had committed to net zero. You needed to show the momentum Chile was the president but developing country in the middle of a social unrest and crisis and the economic crisis that we didn't know how long it was going to last. So I do respect the fact that my successor Gernes Schmid and Juan Carlos Givert, the Minister of Energy did this commitment and so they they committed to peak emissions by 2025 do 45% reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050 and the interesting thing is that while in 2020 that was the total amount of countries that had committed to net zero, I can't plot the new number. It's around 150 countries that have committed to net zero by now. And overall this carbon neutrality is the consensus industry thinks we should do net zero. The power sector says we should do net zero. All universities say we should do net zero and what it would mean it would be a big injection of investments and which will lead to increasing savings in the cheaper energy you would have for your homes overall. But then now in Chile we're having a discussion whether we should be applying to have this by 2050 or 2040. And so Congress invited me to look up the things that we could do. I'm not doing first hand research but I collected some information that nobody had really realized. The same study that we had done with the World Bank on the impact on GDP for net zero by 2050, well they had actually looked at what would happen if you did 2040. And their surprise is actually of course you would get more growth. The longer time you have with cheaper energy you get more growth and more investment. The first evidence, if we do net zero by 2040, more growth. Second, we've really overlooked probably the most important tool that we can have on mitigation. Carbon pricing leadership coalition and the high level panel for the World Bank put together with certain instiglitz said that we should be looking around 100 dollars per ton. And IMF, my good friends there I asked them to run some numbers for me and for example if we use 30 dollars per ton of CO2 which is the value that we're trying to promote, we have net, not net, absolute reductions of emissions for Chile by itself. And when you have requirements for more spending it's good to have more revenue. Christina Gargiva who was my boss at the World Bank who was the IMF head she said carbon prices are job creating taxes. They shift economies towards something else and so I think it's a good tool that we should try. And the World Bank IMF put together in the context of the coalition of finance ministers what different carbon prices would mean for Chile in terms of reductions and you could also see in the U.S. and I guess they didn't do U.S. because the U.S. wasn't part of the coalition in 2020, it is now but you can see different carbon prices leading to different reductions you know for example Poland could get almost 50% reduction with different prices of course it's going to be political hard to do. So we didn't consider carbon pricing as a tool at all and my criticism of the administration is that if you didn't consider carbon pricing which is the most promoted tool by the IMF and the World Bank, it was purely out of ideological reasons and so we had this discussion and we had said it was all technical but it wasn't totally technical. There's another aspect that's important for us too. The World Bank put out a report looking at what would happen if the whole world met their 2 degree commitments. Not 1.5 because for some reason they did 2 degrees and you can see that the transition for clean economy requires substantial amount of minerals. So this is something we have to discuss a little bit more because a lot of people are concerned that this might generate this new extractivism and will shift from having these oil based economy and having high impacts on places and probably heard about the concerns on Cobalt and Congo and Lithium and the indigenous communities in Chile overall. But the reality is for example for Chile which is our major commodity a lot of it will be required for these new technologies and on some in some double the copper is required for net zero globally. So then when we go back to the conversation I had with Finister Finance what's in it for us to do net zero? Yeah well we sell double our major commodity. Not a bad thing. It won't come at it won't be a free thing because this is an IDB report showing embodied emissions and so you can see all the different emissions in Latin America. So Trinidad de Vego for example major natural gas exporter a big portion of the emissions they export right and in the case of Mexico also fossil fuel producer it's a big portion but Chile we're not fossil fuel producer but actually we're pretty much up there with any of them and so because we transform these fossil fuels into our paper commodity copper. So that means that we should be wary of any taxes on end products and lo and behold the EU has announced and they're still going full steam ahead on a border tax adjustment based on the embodied emissions of a product that they will import so therefore if a copper is going to cheap to the European market there'll be a tax based on the emissions. So that makes us want to do this faster. Finally hydrogen we've all heard about it everybody thinks it's a really big promise this is not the blue hydrogen that Mark Jacobson was tweeting about today it's the green hydrogen made from renewable energy and our projection is since we have such cheap energy we could have around 160 megatons and we could be the cheapest and even even though we might be farther away than China, the US or this could probably overcompensate the fact and if we do deliver on everything we want on hydrogen we will be looking at $330 billion in investment for 300 gigawatts of energy which is 10 times the energy that Chile uses today so it can change things substantially and actually it could replace mining altogether. So my dream is you know we have mining we'll have an expiration date but the mining to be renewable in the sources could leave an outstanding legacy of hydrogen be produced. So what I've described is not something that would only be part of what a minister of environment should be concerned about. I just described what Nick Stern calls the growth story of the 21st century it's the transformation of our economies to a new climate economy. So I'm known for not getting along with ministers of finance but I decided I didn't want to have more fights and at the World Bank what we did was very much an inception of putting together around 20 ministers of finance got them in a room in Helsinki three years ago and we decided to do the Helsinki principles and that is an outstanding change and this guy here you might recognize him now but he knew who he was then and then the minister of finance for Germany the Vice Chancellor today, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and you saw today that Germany is committing to 100% renewable life 2035. So this is now here's the things that we have to be looking out for which are probably the biggest push that we could do. First off there is this network of greening the financial system that today accounts for global GDP including the central bank of China. They're all committing to having companies declare two things. Their economic consequences to their assets due to climate change, their physical risks, or their transitional risks due to regulations. Selling stuff that nobody wants to buy right? If you're a fossil fuel dependent country you're not going to be able to sell oil, oil, oil. If you are an oil company you should be shifting to something else and the pressure that could be used is substantial and massive and direct. BlackRock for example BlackRock tells the CEO of NL a big company you're not phasing out coal fast enough and I'm a witness to this. The result was NL and NG committed to phasing out all their coal-fired power plants by 2025 in Chile that was financial pressure. The pension fund system also, the IDB put out a report that showed that the pension funds would have been way more profitable and somewhat more profitable than green pension funds than not. So now the Chilean financial regulator for banks, for pensions, for companies they all require financial disclosures and the stranglehold will start, first you declare that's a plan, then is it aligned to the payers agreement is it aligned to our net zero and if it's not then it has to be aligned or you pay a penalty for this. So the Glasgow financial alliance of net zero probably is the most outstanding result for the Glasgow meeting. If you look at what they're committing to and I know there's a lot of greenwashing, we got to get better right? The first thing is we get them in, then we start becoming the methods overall to be increasingly stringent but today the reality is that major banks have committed to 130 trillion in climate finance by 2050 and that's never been heard of before. The climate finance today is probably maybe from banks, probably MDBs, no more than 70 billion a year so 130 trillion is a big departure. So why can we aspire to net zero by 2040? First off, we have to use carbon price. Second, we have to phase out coal faster. Third, we have to understand that we're always wrong about these numbers. We've projected solar PV to cost $15 per megawatt hour by 2030. Turns out last year it came in at 40, at 14, cheaper. 10 years ahead of schedule almost. CSP same thing. 35 by 2030 well now is 33 last year. So I think we have to be more nimble about the analytics we do because many times it's set up in old school mentalities. We haven't analyzed a 100% renewable target. We haven't analyzed the GDP, in fact the double copper demand. We haven't looked at what the green hydrogen will do for us. I mean we haven't looked at the fact that we plan to sell our emissions, right? So maybe some of that could be used to reduce our emissions faster. That's the end of that part. Briefly on the methane hub. Methane hub, as Rob said, is the coordinated effort by philanthropies to address the methane agenda. And I'll just tell you why it's important at this point. Today the report for the IPCC showed that if we overcome 1.5 degrees there'll be tipping points and effects that will be irreversible. So we have to make sure that we're not going to exceed that. It doesn't matter if we exceed it and then cool off. No. We need to never exceed 1.5 degrees. And so if we look at recent warming there's been a substantial contribution from methane, from the short-lived pollutants. And we've been looking at these things with some bias against taking short-term action. When we look at methane it's in a 100-year outlook. It's around 25 to 28 times more potent. That's why we reduce methane historically. But if we look at this scale, the scale in which we all plan to live it's actually 86 times more potent. So whatever we do on methane is going to be able to deliver gains now in 100 years or 200 years. So very important. Where is it coming from? It forces us to get into sectors we had forgotten. Waste sector, ag sector, fossil fuel. And again we could have these direct benefits to whoever mitigates. That's another good thing. So we're supporting this based out of the methane pledge. The global methane pledge was 110 country effort long-term in which dozens of world leaders supported and it's led by the U.S. And the objective is to reduce emissions of methane in the short-term. And if we do so, we could actually reduce temperature within our lifetimes. And most of the measures we could do are actually very cost beneficial. And finally we'll do what we needed to have been doing is having a food system that's good for people and the planet. And today it's neither, right? 30% overweight population globally, 10% malnourished population and with all the pollution problems we've seen. So we're doing things like for example working with different satellite observations and there's different researchers at Stanford that are supporting this to measure and look at the real leaks and we're figuring out that landfills were actually way more than we expected, wells and pipelines were way more and so we'll be doing all this work out of Santiago and looking at different sectors that we could address.  And I think these things are things that we have to have in mind. We cannot rely on the technocrats which I am part of to say the reasons why you can't do something yet the political leadership is we will achieve this and we'll figure out how to do it and a lot of these things are happening today in California, you know, which they don't know exactly how you're going to reduce methane emissions but we'll work together on it and we know we have to do it. I think Christina Figueiras who is a former UN head for climate change would say, you know, when you get on a cab, you don't tell it go this way, this way, this way, you tell it I want to go there. And the cab driver figures it out but you have to tell it where you want to go. I think if we are only going to where our minds set us out, we're just not going to get to the testifications we require. We have to be bold and therefore the C40 is what my personal commitment is that Chile could achieve in a zero. So that's my presentation. Thank you very much for your time. I did. We have a few minutes now for public questions in the room here. I thought after that inspirational talk. Can you hear me? Yeah. Any questions in the room? If nobody raises their hand I'm going to call in my colleague Rob Jackson who I'm sure has questions. Let's go up there. So you brought up this taxi analogy. How often is it that in the Chilean government people are disagreeing where to go? Is there a lot of infighting or is it really that well consensus? The process is about discussion. For example, for the energy system transition, 2013, the whole country was at odds with we want to do large hydro in the Patagonia, to do big coal, but we really didn't have a consensus. So one of the big things that the Minister of Energy did was he did a national consultation process under which everybody discussed and looked at the same numbers and they came to that consensus. There's some different views on the velocity. And obviously we're in the middle constitutional process that shows that we're not good at reaching agreement, but we should do so. But as long as there's a place for discussion with evidence that's probably the best place to work on it. So basically the net zero target that Chile has today was a national public participation process and we have the consensus of the NGOs, the people, and the sectors in the government. So it's not perfect, but as long as we have those spaces to have the discussion I think it's the best following. Thank you, Anthony. I know you're... Sorry, let's do this. You talked about in your speech a little bit about the carbon cooperation with Chile and Oregon and California and I was wondering if you could elaborate more on like policies and initiatives in which like a smaller country like Chile has a larger global polluter aside from like the really well known local conferences. So there's a Japanese clean development mechanism. The Japanese have like their own carbon market and they subsidize mitigation and some actions have been taken in that regard. The recent cooperation with the Canadian government on organic waste was also very substantive. There's multiple different carbon finance initiatives that allow that bilateral collaboration. The forced investment program for example with Reforestation and MRV systems to prove that you planted the trees that you wanted and the mitigation that occurred was okay. These are things that have occurred but I don't have a much longer list. The problem though with the carbon market of the Americas is that Chile now that they have this big commitment they're not really too keen on selling credits because they would be taking off their books and so I have seen that sort of awareness that I think is really interesting because you know for example New Zealand came in and they wanted to say hey you know I'll give you money to phase out coal faster and they're like yeah great but we're not sure we're going to meet our commitment if we do that because that's going to be taking off our books. It's one of the little hanging fruits that we want. So therefore it's going to the tension of having everybody committed at zero is that there won't be that much of international mitigation because everybody has to mitigate a lot. Any other questions? I think you just gave me an opportunity to use my kind of pop metaphor. You remind me of the other member of the old saying do or not do or try. I think you're exactly that kind of guy and that's what we need. Anybody else? Rob you want to ask one? Yeah sure so maybe philosophically can you talk about your own philosophy in the methane hub the balance of shame and cooperation for driving action. And I'll give you one example of which we did that was a little bit crazy and I don't know how I kept my job but it was fun and stressful. In the middle of the when Chile became better at soccer they started making it deeper into the tournaments and we started measuring at the same time more pollution with better instruments and so we had the perfect storm of when I go into office all of a sudden we obliterated all our air quality standards and records for you know we never measured anything as bad as we measured and I try to figure out what it was and I had been looking at that data and I knew that data like it was my kids right I knew anything that was weird I would figure out right away. There's something weird that happened that night the time etc everybody grilled right everybody grilled and it was just and every single day that's the Chile played in the winter time it was an emergency day and if our model predicted it was going to be sort of bad air day when we factored in the soccer game we said now this is going to be horrible and it has implications because you ban wood burning stoves you stop industry and you can't drive your car right so it has deep implications and so we went at that right and we showed that there was a problem people made fun of us at the beginning had memes about us and you know that were crazy blaming it on the pollution on grills but then the data came in and actually the surveys came in around 80% of Chileans acknowledge that grilling is bad and 60% of women and 40% of men are in favor of banning grilling during bad air days so if there's no problem there's no support right so this same thing with the shaming this will be shaming both on an individual level and to country level but if we have to show the big problem that we got at hand and we have multiple tools that including your work Rob that will allow you to have that. Well that said I think we're just about time for the public part of our celebration so thank you once again for sharing with us your story I think it's a very important model for what might well be going hopefully going on in other jurisdictions and thank you so much. We're following the California way we'd like to think of ourselves as a California of Latin America. Come back again often we'll take you out and hopefully next time you get here thank you. Thanks so much.


Attention East Colfax residents, this is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi, I'm Technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department. The Sex Offender Registration and Compliance Unit at DPD is responsible for the registration, monitoring and tracking of all registered sex offenders and sexually violent predators who live in the city and county of Denver. Here's a brief history of sex offender legislation in Colorado. Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994, we had the Jacob Wetterling Act, which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Megan's law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations. And the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across the country. In Colorado, the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections, the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process, which is a list maintained by local police departments. The second way is active via community notification for those offenders determined to be sexually violent predators by the courts or by the parole board. Most sex offenders in Colorado are supervised by the criminal justice system in our communities. Most sex offenders engage in crossover behavior, which means they may have been arrested for one type of crime, but be apt to commit another.  There is no typical sex offender, but all tend to be deceptive, manipulative, and secretive. 80 to 93 percent of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the victim. Sexual deviancy begins in mid to late adolescence. Sex offenses are not impulsive.  The community has a vested interest in helping offenders to be successfully managed in the community. Sex offenders have the same need for housing and employment as any other citizen. Any citizen who uses sex offender information to harass, threaten, or intimidate an offender will be subject to criminal prosecution. There are approximately 16,500 registered sex offenders in the state of Colorado. About 65 percent of convicted sex offenders are placed in the community on probation. The remainder are in the Department of Corrections or Community Corrections. Offenders may be caught for one type of offense, but be at a high risk to commit another type. Crime of conviction is only one indicator of risk.  The offender's residence must be verified quarterly by the Denver Police Department. The full sex offender registration list is available by calling the Denver Police Department Identification Bureau at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Convicted felons and those with multiple convictions are posted online at denvergov.org-police.   Now, here's a look at the newest sexually violent predator living in Denver. Here's an overview of the registered sex offenders currently living in Denver. There are 2,601 total living within city limits. In Denver Police District 2, there are 421. Precinct 223 has 120 registered sex offenders. 82 have felony convictions and 38 have misdemeanor convictions. John David Lucas is a sexually violent predator currently living in Denver.

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com and that is 2014, 15, a little blast from the past, Panini Spectra basketball, five box, full case, random team break number one. All teams are in, about seven autograph from memory, a billion cards per box, on average, Kobe, Steph Curry on card, auto opportunities, Embiid, Randall, Wiggins, Gordon, Levine, and more, RPAs in there as well. I think Yolkich too. So a lot of fun stuff and you know how good Spectra looks. Big thanks to everybody who got their spots straight up and congrats again to the winners of those spots and those two filler breaks, how we did. There are all the teams right there. Let's do it, let's roll it, let's randomize it. One and a four, five times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, and fifth and final time. And fifth and final time. A mic down to Brian, after five. One and a four, five times for the teams. One, two, three, four, and a one, fifth and final time. Wizards down to the OKC Thunder. Now I will have a slightly extended trading window just so you can kind of get an idea of these old teams again, re-familiarize yourself. Mike with the wizards, Kevin with the heat. Brian with the pelicans, Matt with the bucks, Drew with the net, Stephen K with the blazers, James with the Celtics, Barry with the Warriors, Diego with the magic, Will with the gris, Michael with the pistons, Katie with the bulls, Drew with the sons, Chris with the Pacers, Roger with the Knicks, Mike with the nuggets, Adam with the Mavs, Will with the Hawks, Brian with the T-Wills, Will with the Spurs, Chris with the Cavs, Will with the Raptors, Matt, that is almost a Mike, Mike, not Mike, Matt, with the Clippers, Kevin with the Rockets, Jeremy 33 with the Kings, Matt with the Jazz Rosario with the Lakers, Adam with the Sixers, Rick T with the Hornets, and Brian with the OKC Thunder, good luck Rosario. Got my Lakers, we know who's possible in here. Let's sort this by team name here, and we're gonna pause the video when we come back, we're gonna see if there's any trades and then the break, stick around. All right, welcome back folks. So we did have a trade, there was a lot of trade chatter too, a lot of trade activity, no deals are done except for the deal between the Michaels here. So Michael Eberle is out of the piston spot and into the wizard spot here. We'll put T next to there for trades, and Mike Grzynski, Mike is in the piston spot, and we'll put T next to there for trades, so I know, so we know who draws first blood in the trade, if any. Now ideally there'll be monster hits for both of them. You never know when these group breaks. Sorry, here it is, let's see what's been marinating inside this five box case since 2014, sitting in the dusty warehouse somewhere, maybe like the big warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. We pulled this out of the vaults. Here's how different spectra basketball looked back then. Only five boxes and in this size, I kind of like this format. I don't mind the current format, I just kind of like this one, this format a little bit better. All right, there's everybody right here, here's the final printout. Thanks everyone for getting in, appreciate it. So back then it was just one of those kind of boxes right there, is there a base card on the bottom? Yeah, there's one base card on the bottom here, let's slide that up and out. Let's use this blank card right here to slow play some of the hits a little bit. And good luck friends, here we go. We got Joaquin Noah, obviously all card ship, three out of 10, Chicago edition going to Katie and the Bulls. We got Nikola Batum, 14 out of 75, Portland edition, Stephen Kay. Our first relic is Chris Anderson, remember Chris Anderson, Miami Heat. That'll go to Kevin, six out of 35 on this one. Chris Lombardo looking for some, are you sure LeBron's here on the checklist? He is, okay, can get some base cards. Possibly some relics. We've got Jabari Parker, rookie relic. He signed somewhere recently with somebody. And this is a player, if you had to make a list of players who could have been great but injuries decimated him, Jabari Parker's gotta be up there in recent memory, two out of 49, Derek Rose too. All right, that's Milwaukee Bucks, that'll be for Matt Lieber. And then we got Joe Dumar's franchise fabrics, green. Is that out of five? It is. So Mike G. So remember, just be careful with these Mike. We are having to use larger top loaders just because of the top loader shortage. But we'll put blue painters tape right here. But in case it's not there or in case it falls off or in case you take it off, just be careful. So there it is, one out of five, Joe Dumar. So Mike G. drawing first blood in the trade. Out of fives and under, get the train whistle. All aboard the Big Hit Express, whoop, whoop. Jabari Parker, Celtic now, there you go. So Celtic's looking for a little depth out of Jabari Parker. We got Joe Harris, that's right. He was a calf, two color patch and autograph, gold. It's for Chris Lombardo in the Cavaliers. He won that spot in a filler break. Don't worry, Michael E. Who has the wizards, we still have a lot of time to make up for it. Four out of 10, Joe Harris. Nice one, Chris. We got CJ Watson, Jersey and autograph, Pacers. Indiana, that's gonna go to Chris Lombardo. We named the dog Indiana. 29 out of 125. We got two color patch and autograph, Markle Brown. Two color patch and autograph for Brooklyn. That's goes to Drew Kerr. I don't remember Markle Brown at all. Markel Brown maybe, 99 out of 99. Then we've got spectacular two color patch and autograph, Carmelo Anthony out of five. New York Knicks, Roger Hoyns. There you go, Eastwood. Yeah, Carmelo's still lighting up here and there. Nice, two out of five, another train whistle. All aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo, nice mellow. All right, that's just box one of five. This is the only case I saw on the back. So if you got in, I'll be happy that you got in. Now, we'll, but wait, there's more. That's a base card? Is that a base card? No, that's an autograph, all right. I think I saw some points here. So we'll randomize that to one person in the break. Winner take all in the points. If there's more, we'll collect them all as one lot and randomize it to the name on top at the end. All right, there's Monute Bowl. Not numbered, but Global Icons going to Michael Everly in the Washington Wizards. Don't worry, Michael Everly. A lot of boxes left, a lot of cards left. There's Andre Drummond, Piston's Edition. Glad he's on the Lakers. It's a 75 for Mike G. We've got double team jerseys to Marcus Cousins and Darren Collison. Two color, dual relic, going to Sacramento. That'll be for Jeremy 33 on the board. 30 out of 49. And you got Hal Greer, Franchise Fabrics. Is that how, were they using, were they wearing wool back then? Look at that. That must be from like a jacket or something. And that is out of 25 for the Sixers. Old school Sixer from the late 60s. Going to Adam Kelly. We got Mitch McGarry for the Thunder. Three color patch and autograph. OKC, that's for Brian Crouch. We got Spencer Dinwitty, jersey and autograph for the Pistons. Mike G with that one. Don't look for now, Michael E. Michael G. The Spencer did not, I forgot that he was a Piston. 67 out of 125. Then we've got Isaiah Thomas. Sun's edition of Isaiah Thomas. That goes to Drew Kerr. Last spot, Mojo. 49 out of 149. Will saying card quality seems better back in 2014. This is a pretty good set. And there's Zach Levine. Rookie, patch and autograph. I feel like Zach Levine has some ups and downs in the hobby. This goes to Brian Croft and the Timberwolves. He was hot year one. Won a dunk contest too, I think. And it was not so hot and then was sent to Chicago. And was kind of meh, but then kind of like in the last couple years or so has really started to look good again. So there you go. This is Timberwolves edition going to Brian. I do like this format though. The sort of this kind of shaped box with the one box in size. But Levine's kind of boring. You would think with his highlight dunks, he would need to be, no, he needs a better image, a better branch is Jeremy 33. You would think with his highlight dunks. He still has ups, right? I just saw the Trey Young ankle twist. Luckily it was okay. No, that's another base card at the bottom. Let's slide two out here. There's Paro Antich for the ATL, speaking of the Hawks. Hopefully Trey Young will be okay. Did they still win? Bogdanovich of the game time three. Oh, OT. Got John Havlichek for Boston. It's for James, 43 out of 49. If we pulled it, I think Julius Rand is a rookie in here. If we pulled Julius Rand a lot of here for the Lakers, that'd be nice. Be a good time to get that. There's Dirk Nowitzki for Dallas, for Adam Kelly. Quickly looking good too. Julius Rand with 40 points. 75 on that Dirk. We've got Joe Harris again. Joe Harris Relic for Cleveland. That's for Chris Lombardo. Cleveland, this is for you. 10 out of 49. Got a gold, Andrew Wiggins. Almost like a cool lightning bolt right here. Nice, rookie Andrew Wiggins going to Brian Croft. One out of 10. Nice low number. We got Damien Inglis. Two color patch and autograph. Rookie patch auto for the Bucks. That'll be for Matt Lieber and Milwaukee. Not numbered. We got Mark Price for the Cavs. Cleveland, this is for you. Goes to Chris Lombardo and the Cavs to 125. We got Doug McDermott. Three color jersey and autograph. Teach me how to Dougie. Katie with the Bulls. Two color patch and autograph. Nick Stauskas for Jeremy 33 and the Kings. 65 out of 99. And back here is DeCambi Matumbo. Jersey and autograph, this is Nets edition. Going to Drew Kerr and Brooklyn. 21 out of 100. Two more boxes to go. Let me actually slide these over here. You miss older breaks? Says Chris? You see, I feel like you hit more on the older stuff? I don't know. I feel like it could be recency bias. Maybe back when we were actually ripping this stuff, when this actually came out, Chris, maybe you were thinking, I never hit in this stuff. And we got Dennis Schroeder. I'm on a Hawks edition to 49. Will Hash with the ATL. Goren Drakic, Phoenix Suns. That'll be for Drew. Jeremy misses older affordable breaks. Do you also miss the low secondary market prices? Basketball breaks, a struggle to fill. Remember, this was a struggle to fill back then. No one wanted basketball. No one cared about it. No one cared about it on the secondary market. Jaspy's losing money on a monthly basis. I don't, I don't miss it. I don't miss it. To 75, Walt Frazier, Nix Eastwood. Freshman fabrics, Roddy Hood for the Jazz. For Matt Lieber to 49. Got Nick Stauskis again. Freshman fabrics, two color patch. That's a one of one. Look at that, didn't even notice. One of one, doesn't look that much different from the front. Maybe the black background. There you go, Jeremy 33. Oh, I don't know when the Jeremy's been with us almost since the beginning. I don't know when the last time I've gotten you a train whistle. All aboard the Big Head Express. Woo-hoo! That's my arm, that's my Pfizer one arm. One of two. All right, there you go. There's Jordan Adams for the Grizzlies. It's from Memphis. It's gonna go to Wilhash. I know I did Jeremy 30 practically. Yeah, the one of ones have definitely improved since 2014, Wills, right? Yeah, now you can tell, like, there's almost a Paisley background or something like that. The one of ones designs a little bit better. All right, it's not so bad. What do we else do? We've got Brandon Wright, Jersey and Auto for the Suns. He's in his Mavs gear, but it looks like he got traded. Hey, you're welcome, Jeremy. I appreciate you getting into this one and all the ones over the years. There's Brandon Wright to 125. Yeah, it looks like he got, if you look at the small print right there, he got traded to the Suns. That would be for Phoenix, Drew Kerr. We got Steve Blake, Jersey and Autograph for the Trail Blazers. That goes to Stephen Kay in Portland to 125. We got Antoine Walker for the Celtics, Jersey and Auto for James M. And the Cs, 45 out of 125. And is that green? That might be a train whistle. Andrew Wiggins, four color patch and Autograph green. Wait for it, top load it, three out of five.  He's a solid player now. But back in 2014, this would have been like a million dollar card. Still nice though, Brian. All aboard, the big hit express. Woo, I wonder if anyone hasn't, this has been so long. I wonder if anyone has anything for sale. Yeah, this was not the norm back in 2014 when we were ripping this stuff. Let's just see what a regular Andrew Wiggins, I just typed in, go to 130point.com slash sales and just typing in Andrew Wiggins. So like Andrew Wiggins, BGS 95 sold for 107 bucks, or a little bit earlier tonight actually. One raw sold for 70 on the 15th of April, but on the 17th of March, it only went for $37. So I guess his card's been going up a little bit. I don't know. So a little up and down on the market, but still pretty cool. I mean, out of five still, should do all right. It's gotta get you the spot back at least, right?  Sure, it looks nice too. Nice Andrew Wiggins.  What happened with Andrew Wiggins? I mean, since Andrew Wiggins is like Steph Curry adjacent, like that's always gonna help him, I think, as long as you're on a kind of a popular team like the Warriors. Final box, good luck everybody. Uh-oh, more points, maybe it looks like a shallow box right here. You can kind of tell it's a little, yeah, more points right there. That's a thousand points of that. It's going, that's winner take all on the points. All right, let's see what we got. Good luck everybody. We got Ersan Eliasova. That's for Milwaukee. That'll be for Matt, Matt L. I think that's number Matt, it's not. We got DeMarcus Cousins for Jeremy 33 and the Kings, to 75. I got Greg Monroe Franchise Fabrics for Mike G. That's to 25. We got Allen Iverson Top Tier Threads for the Sixers. Adam Kelly, A.K. with the A.I. The answer, 13 out of 25 on that one. We got Joe Harris for the Cavs. Another one for Chris Lombardo. Evelyn, this is for you. 75 out of 99. TJ Warren, I think he's doing all right lately, right? Kind of bloomed a little bit since 2014. TJ Warren, two color patch and autograph for the Suns, Drew Kerr. You want more old school breaks here? It's not because we don't want to. It's because the availability, I think, it's just not as easy to find these days. But we're always on the lookout. We got Daddy is Young, two color patch and autograph for the Timberwolves. It's for Brian Croft and the final one here. Good luck everybody. Thank you for getting in. We don't have any more of this 2014 stuff, but hopefully, maybe we're always getting stuff in the mail. Always getting stuff shipped to us, so maybe we'll find some old school stuff. All right, last one here is Alfred Payton for the Magic. Two color patch and autograph, rookie patch auto, that RPA going to Orlando. That'll be for Diego. Not numbered right here, but pretty nice. There you go, ladies and gentlemen. Pretty solid break. Thanks everyone for getting in. Really appreciate it. Now, let's see who's gonna win those points. Thousand points, that actually does okay on the secondary market. Everyone from Will down to Michael and everyone in between. There's some new dice, there's a new list. Let's roll it, let's randomize it. Name on top after six, two and a four, six times. One, two, three, four, five and six and final time after six. Name on top, a little consolation, decent consolation actually. This is gonna be Rosario. There you go. I don't think I called your name out once, Rosario, but a thousand points going your way after six. There you have it. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. It was fun doing this old school basketball. Keep your eye out for more old school breaks on jaspyscasebreaks.com and I'll break that with you next time. Bye.

It's a social media platform For creators as well as for people that are just looking for ideas On doing everything you can check out the links. I talked about it here because I said my wife Uses Pinterest a lot and so I saw the need for me to get into the stock So that's what I did and I told you guys this stock was gonna jump prior to all the on the earnings because Last ending call earnings call the stock went from 40. I think it was like 45 dollars all the way to 68 dollars so I'm like, huh Pinterest is making some really good moves. So I said let's catch this one So we don't miss out again and watch and see the earnings came out good. This is where the stock was actually trading Prior to that. So the stock was sitting somewhere. So when we did that video the stock was sitting somewhere about 69 If I can get back there. So we're sitting somewhere around 69 Where is it? So somewhere around here as we did the video. So I said this is By this long-term if you were somebody that's looking for a long-term position Also, if you're looking to swing by it. So those of you that got in down here I hope that you held it all the way To right here.

And unfortunately, he's not here today, but Mick will see you at the next draw very, very soon. And I'm sure you're tuned in and very excited that the guys down here are handling this okay without you. So then, I think we're ready to go, Gordon. And we have Louise Dordy, our very own German Dordy's daughter, who's part of the All-Ireland Liddy's minor winning team who are here for the draw. And Louise has got the important task of pulling out the first ticket. We've also got Evine Randalls, Sarah McGinley, and Neve Bonner. They're all from the Latter-Kinney Gales, Terriman St. Unions, and Glen Swally Clubs, who are in the area of the Latter-Kinney Credit Union. And they're here today to do the draw. And they're honoured to be here. They also picked out the cash winners. We'll announce them in a second. Next up, Neve Bonner from the Terriman Club and All-Ireland winner as well. She is going to pull out the second ticket for the Randall-Capture car. Yeah, and the first ticket, by the way, goes back in. So somebody could actually want two cars. Wouldn't be bad. So the first ticket goes back in, and they're going to spin away again. And Ted and Gale are just checking the numbers and the corresponding name to the number of the winning tickets. So we've already got one ticket out. It's gone back into the drum. Neve now is going to pull out the second ticket, and we'll pass it to Ted. And in the meantime, as they do that, we'll give you a rundown on the winners of the cash prizes. The draw was made a short time ago, and we have to say congratulations to Paul McGlinche and Trisa Bradley. Both have won 200-year-old cash, four 500-year-old cash prizes, and the four winners are Alain Russell, Siobhan Bharat-Dorty, Eric Ash, and Shemez Hughes, and the big one, the 1000-year-old cash prize is going to Louise Murphy. So congratulations to all of the LetterKinney members. We have won cash prizes today, and to the staff down here at LetterKinney Credit Union will be in contact with you shortly. So just checking over my shoulder to see how we are going with the draw. Again, Niall Callahan, Commissioner of Oaths is the independent observer.

What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real Merry Christmas to everybody happy holidays if you don't celebrate Christmas My plan for today was to wake up very early 7 a.m. Drive to my dad's house Watch my younger sisters open up their gifts and get out of there in time to watch the games today I should have just spent more time at the family every game today was absolute trash and as I'm recording this The Clippers still have us officially secure the win Can why it just got busted up in the face? I hope he's doing fine And maybe by the time this video is out you don't know exactly what happened to him I hope he's doing fine, but it looked like they're gonna secure this W. I Want to talk about every single one of the games to at least a little bit talk about what I saw because I didn't just sit here in This chair for 13 hours and watch basketball to not make a video. You feel me the games were trash Whatever be sure to leave a like subscribe if you're a new use a comment section I'm gonna give my opinions in today's video you may disagree, but that's completely okay Basketball is so subjective. We can have different opinions and still be cool with each other You know I'm saying call game. Let's talk about the first game of the day Which was the pelicans and the Miami Heat now This is a game that I missed part of it because I was driving home from my dad's house And basically I was listening to it on the radio and everything I heard was don't get Rob is it from three Don't get Rob is it from three, but what I want to talk about specifically about this game It's one player and it ain't Zion. It ain't Brandon Ingram. It's precious y'all. Oh my god. Listen The Miami Heat in my eyes have given themselves the track record of if they decide to keep and use their pick Whoever they use I'm expecting them to come in and immediately be a rotational player I'm expecting them to to be an all-star caliber player eventually someday Think about the track record in the last couple years. Of course Tyler hero was putting up numbers We've never seen a Ricky doing the playoffs apparently We saw like Justice Winslow who is cool Um You know that I remember specifically last year I think it was the season open for me for the Miami Heat Justice Winslow had like 25 points And we were like yes point justice and I feel like I haven't seen him actually play basketball since that night Of course, they got bam out of bio like 14 15. Like I said, they got Justice Winslow in the second round They got Josh Richardson. Of course, it's a very good NBA player I just assumed that if they decide to use their pick and that's a big F Because y'all know Pat Riley is all about keeping the team good and up to date and hip and a lot of that has to do With trade and picks but when they keep it, it's a blessing It's a great player and precious projects to be one of those guys like I can see two years down the line If Yanis is still with the Bucks, which I'm assuming he will be and he's still fighting to win a championship Which I'm assuming he will be precious is gonna be another one of those defenders that they throw at Yanis in a couple years And he's gonna hold his own. That's just what I feel about him man Of course Zion had a very good game and Brandon Ingram had a very good game both of them overall But it seems like when precious was switched onto these guys See he was doing pretty solidly a man and again another situation where this is a championship caliber Miami Heat team And they brought in a rookie to be a rotational piece for them and he looks good Somebody must have told Eric Bledsoe This was a nationally televised game because he performed as such And you know what again? I don't want to start talking trash about Eric Bledsoe because I do think that he is a good NBA player Do not get me wrong But he just has games like this on national TV that gives like like everybody that watches these Christmas day games Aren't like a die-hard fair like maybe me or you they're more casual and they see Eric Bledsoe in the playoffs That's their last memory and then now this is the first nationally televised game and he literally does nothing I don't know if I saw him make a basket. I'm assuming he did but I don't know if I actually saw him make a basket But I'm not gonna talk too bad about the Pelicans because in their first game against the Raptors I'm pretty sure was they look pretty solid just today. They didn't look too great They was just giving up a lot of threes to the heat who didn't look good in their first game But look good in the second when they actually hit their shots this time around second game I'm going to admit like I said I woke up very very early to go to to check out my sisters and my dad's house watched them open their presents So I was a little tired and the second game is that place why I got that quick 30 minute nap in and I feel like I didn't miss anything The the Warriors we already talked about them in the last video, but I like what Steph Curry said after this game Of course him himself didn't have a very good game But he was talking about how the offense needs to be better when their IQ and I 100% agree the amount of shots I saw chucked up by Kelly Ubre and Andrew Wiggins. They were ill advised made me sick to my stomach as a basketball fan I'm not even a Warriors fan just a basketball fan that wanted to see us at least one of the games this game is ending and it was of 13 14, I don't know mathematics None of the games end up being scheduled single-digit games I just wanted one of them least one at least one and if I wanted to see that from the Bucks warriors I needed Wiggins to do more. I needed Kelly Ubre to hit a single shot I mean, I need a Steph Curry to perform like Steph Curry They kept putting that stat up on the screen of Steph Curry and his eight Christmas Day games only only averages like 13 points per game like he really struggles on Christmas And that was no no different today. Again, we're not judging Steph Curry just yet We'll see when during my grand comes back How much he alleviates some of the Steph Curry pain and we'll talk about that John has had one of his worst games that is of probably this entire season We're gonna see and they still won by 40 because Chris Middleton is the man I saw somebody on Twitter say that I think that this is the season where Chris Middleton starts to see the other 28 teams like he sees the The boss of Celtics, I know he's a Celtic killer And if that's the case if he's killing teams like this all season It's going to be rough for the rest of the league if Chris Middleton is putting up 30 a night Now the next game is the one I was so excited about because we have two teams that are projected to be towards the top of the Eastern Conference in the Boston Celtics So of course shout out to Jason Tatum He called game in the in the season opener and then of course the the Kevin Durant Kyrie led Brooklyn Nets. I Was one of the people this offseason that wasn't Immediate to look at this team on paper and say that this is going to be a contender This team is going to be at the top of the Eastern Conference because over the past couple seasons I feel like I fell into that trap a lot as a fan where I see a team put together a Team on paper that just looks amazing and then they just don't fulfill those things And I'm not saying that the Brooklyn Nets are going to be the one to fulfill those things But I got to say two games in this team looks magnificent in the third quarter where Kevin Durant Literally couldn't miss a shot. It gave me goosebumps, bro That is the type of basketball I had missed from Kevin Durant after I think they said 560 days of not seeing Kevin Durant hoop Is it was just it was just a beautiful thing now again, there's only two games in But no two games. They look dangerous. They look lethal Kyrie putting up 37 and 8 is ridiculous and and then this game specifically Um, one of the biggest holes of the Boston Celtics Which is kind of prevented me from putting them in the upper echelon of teams was exposed in this one And that is that center position Jared Allen was eating on the glass Um, Deandre Jordan was eating And of course that's been our criticism for the Boston Celts over the past couple years They just don't have a center that you would trust against really good centers and Jared Allen And and Deandre Jordan aren't really good centers But they have one thing in common as them boys are large And they attack that glass and the Boston Celtics had no remedy for those type of things Jared Allen is is him and the Brooklyn Nets didn't come to an agreement It's probably the smartest thing that he could have done If he is continuing to play like this and he didn't even have like a super stellar I don't even think he ended with a double double. I don't even think he scored double digit points But his impact was large and if this team goes into the playoffs They were as good as a lot of people think they could be as far as like winning the conference There's going to be a couple GMs out there looking at Jared Allen licking their lips with all the cap space That's available in 2021 and throw him an offer sheet that is going to be an extreme overpay for what Jared Allen is worth That's just the way it works And he's going to accept that and the Brooklyn Nets got to figure out if they want to match that type of offer Because he is going to get paid if he rebounds the way he did this game He defends the way he did this game There's no reason for any other GM not to want to offer him a bunch of money when we're in a smaller market team But a bunch of money with nothing to spend it on that's all I got to say the Celtics like I said With them having them holes in the center position. It is it is a little bit tough for me But of course they have Jason Tatum and they have Jaylen Brown You can only rely on so much at this point They really need Kimba back eventually because right now it is like a two-man show and I like Marcus smart And he had a good overall game But he is not alleviating a lot of the pain from their two-wing players So they need that to come into play and I can't help but to think about this off season And see that Miles Turner was on the table for them with the Gordon Haver potential signing trade And they didn't pull the trigger on that thing. Um, I would feel a lot better about this team if Miles Turner was there Maybe that's me being naive, but the first game of the season Miles Turner had like six blocks You know, he was doing the type of things that this team needs from their center And he can shoot just as good as Daniel Tice was able to do last season So that's all I have to say about this game next one. We had the Lakers versus Mavericks Um, this is basically what I said in the beginning of the season We were talking about the Mavericks were like until poor zingas comes back I think this team is going to struggle and that's exactly what we've seen throughout the first couple games of the season It's just so much pressure on luka and this today they had like Josh Richardson Have a good game they had trade bird come off the bench and have a good game But overall it's just not enough like poor zingas needs to come back soon And last time I checked he's projected to come back early january and they need that because this is a conference That you don't want to play around with with only 72 games and 14 out of the 15 teams trying to compete for a playoff spot This is not time to be bad and through the first two games They've been kind of struggling even though in the first game they were this close with devil booger ice them up Um, it's going to be games like that very often for the Lakers side This is the reason why they are they have your favorite to me again They lost game one, but that's cool game two they came out and they were they were magnificent Montrez Herald showed us why he was a sixth man of the year didn't sure to look really good And they're in conversations to extend him and I'm sure Lakers fans are are really happy about that This is the type of games that like they just have so much talent That like if you beat them in game one game two, you're going to get a montrez harrow game And in game three you might get a shooter game and not to mention anthony davis is probably going to have a game or two So it's like this seems to look really really good. And I love the jerseys. Um Wow, I went through all of that pretty fast And then the last one has to do the nuggest clippers that is officially wrapped up since since I started this video I hope that kawaii is okay. I have to admit. I think in the last video I was talking about how when lucanar was in detroit I didn't get to watch it much because it's got to as the detroit pistons bro. Let's be honest the Even me as a diehard nba fan that just loves basketball I can't I couldn't get myself to watch many detroit pistons getting last season because they were one of the worst teams in the league Um, and I'm not invested in like I could watch the bulls They're one of the worst teams of league because I'm invested in that talent I wasn't really invested with the clippers. So to see lucanard on this bigger stage I was excited about these minutes he had today, man I don't know what the stat line looked like but he looked good out there And kawaii liner showed those playmaking skills that he showed last year in this game and and i'm not going to overreact To the nugget starting off 0-2 because if you think about that first game That was crazy, uh, buddy heal with the tip lay in after harissa bars Mr. Dunk after wheel barton did this and after this and that and then people are blaming the rest because arrest made a bad call Or yoke it said in the screen I'm not thinking about game number one and game number two they went against one of the best teams in league So i'm not overreacting one thing we can say is that the second half of this game It was promising for jamal murray because through the first game and then the first half of the second game Jamal murray wasn't doing anything. Uh, he was missing all of his shots And i'm looking at the box score here. He ended with 23 in that second quarter I mean they had a little push when they were down by 20 plus And then they ended up getting somewhat in this game And then the clippers pulled away after patch or badly three and then a little williams three I at the end of the day i'm just hoping that That uh kawaii is good and i'm sure he will be he may not play next game But i'm sure he will be I would one of my biggest fears in life and this is out of basketball Kind of i'm losing my teeth is one of the biggest I have dreams about my teeth falling out So when i saw him get hit in the mouth and i like when they showed the replay and it was a slow mo in his whole jaw I there's no way all of his teeth are still there. There's no way And then he's a multi-millionaire so he can get that fixed instantly But if that happened to me on the court, I can't do that. So that's why I play with a mouth guard. Is that lame? Maybe but i have to protect the whites, you know what i'm saying? The pearly whites, um, that's all i have to say about the christmas day again It was it was a dud, but I did enjoy watching basketball. I can't Even though all these games ended in double digits. I can't ignore the fact that watching basketball just makes me happy even if it's a blowout Um, mba needs to stop doing the whole thing. I don't understand thursdays. I guess it's for football Well, no, that's not even a case. They need to stop doing the thing Will they give us a ton of games two days before christmas and then christmas eve give us zero I missed some crucial games the first day of the big slates I didn't watch colin sexton do his thing and dearest girl. I didn't watch terrors your job for you I had to result to highlights because they decided to drop four games at the same time on the Stop doing that throw some of those games on the next day so we can really get the full experience of the mba If you enjoyed the video leave it a like i'll be back soon called again


Hey everyone, I have this week's schedule to be a week off So I thought I'd use it to update you guys with some thoughts on the state of polyphonic First of all at the time of this video, I'm fast closing in on 700,000 subscribers and honestly that number still baffles me It still baffles me that 10,000 people like what I do let alone 700 So thank you guys all so much for your support and in particular I want to thank everyone that supports me on patreon and nebula that money really gives me the extra security that allows me to Experiment and be more comfortable pushing boundaries with polyphonic with that being said I also know we're headed into tough economic times And I really don't want anyone who can't afford to support me to feel guilty for that Your money does help me a lot But at the end of the day my videos are not as important as keeping yourself healthy or putting meals in your Stomach so if you want to help support my channel, but can't afford to do it monetarily honestly, the best thing you can do is just like and comment on my videos and share them around and Also demand that YouTube fix its broken copyright system Um any any likes any comments any positive feedback or just Shooting me a message on Twitter and letting me know that you appreciate my work that that means a lot to me So now that the thank yous are out of the way It's time to talk about where we are with polyphonic or where I am with polyphonic I've been doing this channel for nearly three years now and like I said It's grown bigger than I possibly imagined and that's allowed me to do some really cool things It's allowed me to feel comfortable doing some videos on artists that I probably Wouldn't have been comfortable doing earlier on like clipping or a hozier You know artists that that really mean a lot to me personally But that aren't quite as celebrated on the world stage in the same way And it's also allowed me to tell more stories about underappreciated historical figures Which is something that I really really like to do and I'm really proud of my videos like my Scott Joplin and Rosetta Tharp videos those remain two of the favorite that I've ever made to this day And you guys have also allowed me to experiment with longer form stuff like my artists of the decade project or my nebula originals, but doing this has also been completely exhausting in the calendar year of 2019 I released 55 video essays if you include my nebula originals That averages out to more than one video essay a week and throughout the entire year I pretty much did everything myself as a one-man team with the exception of a couple people who help edit my script Sometimes and and a big thank you to anyone who's ever taken a look at my script And I'm really proud of what I've been able to do with polyphonic so far But here you guys probably knew that about was coming. Um That kind of production just isn't sustainable long-term. It's it's really taken its toll on me It's incredibly difficult to make the stuff that I do at the pace that I do So I'm gonna be making some changes to my release schedule in in case you don't know right now I'm releasing four videos a month I'm gonna cut that number down a bit, but I'm not gonna hold myself to a specific number What I will promise you is a minimum You're gonna get at the very least two polyphonic videos each month. Um unless something goes drastically wrong That's that's my baseline But in all likelihood, I'm gonna aim for three videos most months and Chances are you might even get some months with four new videos I'm not writing that off entirely what I'm really just trying to do is give myself some more flexibility and Well, I'm sure some of you are bummed that you're not gonna have as many videos There's also a lot of good that's gonna come out of this for one It'll open me up to spend more time on the videos that I do make this means better motion graphics And it means I'll be ready to go more in-depth on topics But it also means that I'm gonna be freed up to do some other projects One of the big things that I want to work on is another line of polyphonic merch I never intended on waiting this long to make new posters But when I went up to four videos a month, I basically had no time to do anything but videos So if there's any videos you want adapted into posters Let me know because I really want to start putting together another line in the coming months It also gives me more time to pursue things completely outside of polyphonic But these are things that you guys will probably see eventually I've already been doing art on my Instagram and hopefully I'll have more time to do that But I've also got a lot of other projects on the go. I don't really know how I'll be releasing everything I don't know what these ideas are gonna pan out to be but any video projects that I do outside of polyphonic I'll be sharing on nebula and with my patrons on patreon So keep an eye out for that Um, and if you want to keep up to date with anything I'm doing outside of YouTube The best way to do that is just by following me on Twitter So if you've got a burning question for me or you just want to tell me something A thought about a video or contribute to the discussion in some way Twitter is really a great place to do it And speaking of burning questions It's been a good while since my last Q&A and I'm about to hit 700,000 subscribers So it seems as good a time as any So sometime in the next few weeks, I'll release another Q&A video That means if you've got any questions you want to ask, um Put them in the comments here and I'll answer some of my favorites And just a heads up if your question is a request You can ask it, but the answer is almost always Maybe I don't know Like I've said, I really don't know what videos I'm gonna make until the moment I decide to make them And there's a bunch of artists and a bunch of albums that I've written scripts on but never turned into videos for whatever reason So you can request all you want, but Honestly, I really don't know what's coming for polyphonic until Until I start making the video So yeah, ask ask questions Any other questions you have and I'll I'll try to answer them I think that's all the updates for this video So I'll just say thank you guys so much for watching. Thanks for liking subscribing and just Generally supporting my channel like I always say it really does mean a lot to me
