"He said data shows that concerns about global warming are false. "CO2 is
plant food, not a pollutant," he said. "It's been 20 times as high as it
now. If you have a 1.2 percent increase in cloud formation and
precipitation, it offsets a 100 percent increase of CO2 in the atmosphere."

Gosh, Burt Rutan is climate genius, too! He knows more than the scientists.
Impressive!

I would say the argument from cluelessness is weakest.

Rutan charged that climate scientists have it wrong, setting himself as a
superior authority. Is he?

No, he isn't. Unless the definition of "many" equals 3 or 4.

Define what you are talking about.

Just about everyone agrees the past few decades are warmer than previous.

Not everyone agrees the cause is human.
