Here you go: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Pierre-Marie_Robitaille https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Pierre-Marie_Robitaille Astrophysics is not a matter of personal opinion. It requires a lot of detailed knowledge and careful practice. Legitimate authority is relevant.

From the wiki article: "he maintains that satellite measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation, believed by most astronomers to be an afterglow of the Big Bang, are actually observations of a glow from Earth's oceans." I am no expert but that wacky idea can be ruled out with concepts in an introductory physics textbook just based on the fact that the cosmic microwave background is a few Kelvin blackbody spectrum whereas the ocean temperature is 273K or higher (which would have a very different "warmer" spectrum).
