I agree with him except for his assertion that it is demonstrated that man's emission of carbon dioxide has caused warming. This is not proven by any empirical evidence, only by models. I don't believe man has anything to do with global warming, if it is indeed happening.

You should check out his book, "The Skeptical Environmentalist". He discusses these models in detail.

Everybody tries to poke little holes in the greenhouse models by arguing about the effect of clouds, or dust particles, or whatever, but they miss a hole big enough to drive a truck through.
 
CO2 is only a small component of the overall greenhouse effect, the main "greenhouse gas" is water, by a factor of many times. The assumption is that the added greenhouse gases will cause more and more water to boil off, in an exponential run-away.
 
Hello. No wonder you have a model that predicts the end of the world, because you have chosen a model that presumes that the carbon dioxide/water cycle is unstable to begin with. If this is so, why are we still here?
