Good article.
The rest is pretty weak IMO. Take this passage:
Meanwhile the seas rose, wildfires raged, and the Earth saw its hottest 10 years on record.
First, the seas have been rising since the end of the last Ice Age. You know back when people walked from Siberia to Alaska and mainland Asia to Japan.
Second, wildfires have always raged. Historical records chronicle wildfires that covered tens of thousands of square miles regularly breaking out back before humans even reached North America. And today's wild fires have more to do with arson then Global Warming.
Third is the statement "hottest 10 years on record". The key here is "on record" which can be accurately determined back about 150 years. After that the best you can do is estimate temperatures and those estimates get less reliable the further you go back in time. And 150 years to the Earths climate is like claiming that stock market changes over a one minute period mean anything.
