We'll just as a nanny state readies for banning all things hot comes a chilling report on climate change.

Suggesting we're heading into a mini ice age.

National solar observatory and the air force research lab confirmed.

The three different analyses of the son's behavior indicate that a period event usually low solar activity.

Maybe just about to begin its very similar to so called little ice age of about 300 years ago and -- no guarantee.

Of -- cooling period.

But it emphasize how poorly understood always climate issues really are.

According to frank -- all associate director of the national solar observatory.

This is highly unusual and unexpected so.

Should we be changing -- -- -- -- cost of hundreds of billions of dollars for something so unpredictable.

For more on the implications of all -- we welcome Competitive Enterprise Institute senior fellow.

Chris Warner so Chris how reliable are these reports are we may be going enormity -- They seem pretty compelling and you have to remember is since at least 2008 this national solar observatory there scientists have published papers saying the by 2015 we have such a minimum.

A decades long minimum which hasn't been seen since that.

My hundred Menem and you talked about when the crops failed babies died so -- burn -- which next -- they knew her lifestyle that.

Only recently as this doomsday cult started burning TV's -- -- sure that they caused the mild warming that ended ten years ago so.

It there is no guarantee there is no one factor that drives climate men is the probably the slightest the sun is one of the biggest so -- -- big deal well.

You know you you're talking about things suggest but the reality is that in six months I'm gonna have to throw it all by incandescent bulbs or at least.

I'm not gonna be able -- -- -- anymore which is why importing in my crazy now and there.

Hundreds thousands of other things that are going to affect our behavior -- a result.

Of predictions that are incorrect.

And that's true -- think about this cooling historically you listen to the news during the winter during storms cooling periods and winter severe winters.

Draining local and federal budgets they just do they slow economic activities over the Obama administration blamed winter when things slow down occasionally politicians always do that.

We need to remember that mormons have always been beneficial -- -- -- deadly and they also are drag on the economy.

Now we've got these institutions put in place these cap and trade schemes regionally they're still trying.

Through EPA nationally Europe's done it there wealth transfers to attract an economy their energy rationing schemes.

They're bad.

-- and cooling period you're talking about a double triple whammy.

Well we believe we did have the end of the Chicago Climate Exchange that was a one and Al Gore's buddy Al Gore and his buddies we're we're putting together that.

Seem to die out about six months ago is this a final nail and -- -- Should -- this thing does keep to extend the analogy keep writing -- -- its native soil it seems so it's hard to kill this one dead but it could be that stake.

Let's be stakeholders in this process and put it to death but remember you've got states who are still doing this California's looking for someone to go down the drain with them the northeast.

Has this thing called -- Europe's got their wealth transfer and the politicians don't know how to undo it once they create the constituencies that these things feed.

What you're got to stop what's going down.

-- you know you mentioned Europe and of course very -- -- ministry who wants loves to copy what they do.

They still have these carbon markets but they have these scandals related to a millions of dollars -- millions of euros over -- wanna counted we're involve these scandals because it's so easy to rip people off.

When you're trading something that doesn't exist like a carbon credit.

Yeah I -- what are your heels -- -- viewers will be amazed that I tell them that Enron invented carbon cap and trade and I know because I was in the room.

It's trying to make money off of doing nothing gets -- -- another -- not only was Enron involved you mentioned so was Franklin Raines the former CEO of Fannie Mae and so I think you get all kinds.

Folks used to ripping off the world involved in these things.

Yet and it's money for nothing it's wise you know I've discussed the -- -- taken over the -- syndicates in Europe because it turns -- the mob like free money not based on performance as much as the government does.

And the rent seeking bodies so these are all inefficiencies they also -- on the economy yes -- pay -- pay Paul little bit with what -- rob Peter but it's a net economic drain.

The Green jobs that cap and trade all of this and if this happens during something that is going to cause for example bread baskets to the world Canada and hopefully Russia.

They will then slow down the -- production to discuss these policies must be stopped the new ones and the things emplacements B roll back if in fact we don't get a guarantee if in fact this cooling.

As has been predicted for years does come to.

To the poor -- I love the fact that the mobsters are so closely united we these carbon credit folks and the other thing Baidoa -- one thing that may.

Benefit from all this -- baby seals and Campbell's because there was this whole movement.

To kill the camels and ordered to save the planet because they they -- so much methane.

Right but remember something climate change -- animals like people adapt cooling has always been very deadly.

And warming has been beneficial so this is serious business the other thing was manufactured to set up schemes this is serious business good -- -- -- Chris several wonderful weekend stay warm thank you very much Chris -- --
