Mean we've been hitting all week.

Sixteen prominent scientists say that there is no compelling argument for human caused global warming there's no need to panic they say.

Global warming activists are going on a -- -- Against the denies that this news -- but beyond -- bug is with us to set us straight he is the all all -- skeptical environmentalist -- welcomed the program -- -- good to -- back.

He signed just point out there has been no warming me in the last ten years -- we to conclude that global warming is.

The -- shall we say height or -- hoax.

-- I think it definitely proves that has been hyped.

We every -- there's you know ice disappearing in the Arctic prince -- we hear it's even worse than what the -- models told us.

But of course the fact that temperatures hasn't risen philosophy.

-- about 1015 years is.

Definitely better than what has been -- is there a new idea that.

If there are new element of skepticism into the whole global warming -- in other words and it has the -- -- and -- skeptics now running things and the guys who say yes there is global warming already in retreat.

Well I think what's and what's.

-- there is the height.

The -- argument that this is the end of the world.

Has never been true and it's been height because it was it felt like yes I could push the political argument relevant of course you can't scare people -- decades on end and what you're really seeing is out backlash those very predictable from the very get go.

And what we need to do is get back to the sites which tells us.

Yes there is global warming.

It's not the end of the world and something we need to tackle -- tackles Mark Williams told right now you think we are in a global warming environment I think that we I think what.

Virtually all the scientists are telling us and even these sixteen skeptical guys -- Overall if you put in more CO2 from burning fossil fuels you will see rising temperatures but not nearly to the extent that we've been.

Hold that might happen and we gonna see the end of the world I'm skeptical.

I -- how do you explain.

Warming in.

But you know hundreds of years ago I mean you know -- hope that we have been cycles whether -- the temperature of the world the planet has gone way -- well above where it is now.

How do you explain that there's the what many humans around a couple of thousand years ago map that was definitely not cost by fossil fuels so we know that this warming that you're talking about is caused by fossil fuels and humans now.

Well the point is how much of it is cost by fossil fuels and it's very clear that the -- six is very clear that if you put out more suited to.

You will get an increase in temperature the whole discussion is how much and I think we've dramatically underplayed the natural variation as you're pointing out.

Just to say -- see it's all due to global warming it's all do -- -- but I humans impacting and what we now realizing just note part of it is that quick updates and you have views of those from Germany about that subsidence of sub global going on carbon taxes and -- -- that's a very good example of what we've done because we panicked.

We've made a large scale policies to -- you know cut carbon emissions in Germany they've given what subsidies and any other country about a 130 billion dollars in subsidies.

To solar panels that -- you know -- that some capital of the world which is not true to go there.

But the problem is of course -- people opening up so many -- panels that the German Economy can't afford it anymore.

And that's the dilemma whenever you start doing so much that actually matters.

You can't afford these subsidies so now they're cutting them the German.

-- economy minister just said.

This is actually affecting our growth negatively so now they're cutting your -- valuable thing.

The skeptical chemical and at least capital environmentalists is that legit that's absolutely right you know join the denies yet well single a little mind -- come -- this.

This is happening but what we're not doing us.

Because we're so scared we're stuck in this conversation is not happening -- Orleans it's the scariest thing that could ever happen we're not tackling its market that's about.

Investment in Green energy reserves and always a pleasure to have you with a good thanks so much -- much appreciate it.
