Seems like he believes in GH gases and warming...



Just about everyone seems to believe there is such a thing as a greenhouse effect BUT that by itself is a tiny percentage of the package commonly known as 'global warming'. You have to believe that the greenhouse effect is due to the higher carbon dioxide AND the higher carbon dioxide is largely due to burning fossil fuels AND that the greenhouse effect is to blame for our current warming, not solar activitity or anything else AND that the warming is about to shoot up - because let's face it, another century, another 0.8 degree celsius warmer is not a particularly alarming prospect.

There are a lot of 'ifs' in there and I don't see that there is anything like like a consensus on anything beyond the existence of the greenhouse effect. Unless you count the agreement of the global warming priesthood to pretend that the scientific consensus on these points not only exists but is ironclad.
