For those unfamiliar with this clown[1], he is a shill for fossil fuel companies who has a bachelor's degree in philosophy. He has no scientific training.
His anti-climate science opinions are so extreme, he argues in favor of burning more fossil fuels and against renewables (even when they're cheaper than fossil fuels). At this point, he's denying the science that even major oil companies are admitting they've known to be true since the 70s and 80s.

- moistly 4y agoWhy would anyone waste their time addressing this Gish-galloping oil industry swine’s lies and distortions? Fuck him.
- smt88 4y agoHe's the one making the outlandish claims that the vast majority of humanity, especially scientists, know to be false. The burden of proof is on him, and he can't provide any proof other than cherrypicking and misinterpreting data. Much of his work is just arguing that oil has been necessity for our current state of advancement, which is true, but it has nothing to do with whether we should keep burning it.
