He is wrong on several points, blithely accepting dogma such as the idea that the industrial revolution was driven by cheap energy. He puts the cart before the horse: <Cheap energy drove the industrial revolution and much of the development that has given us such high standards of living today. >

In fact, the intellectual developments and industrial revolution drove cheap energy and all the vast panoply of science, engineering and technology which has provided the low [as viewed from the future] standard of living we enjoy today [which is so much higher than has ever been but is just getting warmed up].

He has accepted other dogma too.

Hi Brumar89; The way he defined it, I'm a "luke warmist" rather than a "climate skeptic".
