The thing I object to is the constant “we are all going to die” mantra. Also, he doesn’t understand the fundamental physics and keeps making incorrect statements. The fact that we are warming from CO2, he does get that. He doesn’t seem to understand just how much CO2 is released each year and that it will take a long time to turn the ship. Statements such as “you should buy an electric golf cart to save the world” reflects a total lack of understanding of the numbers involved. In the upcoming decades, it will be painful for some parts of the world and the best we can probably do is work on remediation efforts. 80% of the world’s energy comes from hydrocarbons; that won’t change overnight and we should stop assuming that it can.

Also when he seems to understand what he is saying and how wrong he is.
