This video, the second in the series, looks at alternative hypotheses explaining global warming. Potholer54 is only looking at alternative hypotheses put forward by real, professional climate researchers, and the findings of real, professional climate researchers who disagree with them.
This is a 10-minute video summarizing the arguments and counter-arguments, not a PhD thesis.

Re: Climate Change: The Objections
I personally held the belief that it is not just mankind that is heating the Earth with increased CO2 output but it's also due to an increase in solar activity (or the sun getting hotter).
He does a good job explaining how that may not be the case, so now, I want to follow up with this and double check which scientists he references that are telling us that the sun ISN'T getting hotter.
In doing my own research, I have read papers from real scientists and cosmologists that have done nearly the same tests he skims over and those test do say the sun IS in fact getting warmer and they are seeing an increase in Earth's tempurature that would match up with the "Solar Forcing" theory....not just the increase in CO2 output by humans. Interesting though, finally, a non-bias look at the Solar Forcing effect. Great stuff! 5*'s!
(On a conspiratorial note: As long as they don't try and tax me to breath [because of the CO2 I output when I breath] I'm okay with them blaming humans only for the heat up)

The CO2 you exhale comes from your body metabolizing carbon from your food and oxygen you inhale. If they start taxing the carbon you exhale, they need to give you a tax deduction for the carbon you eat. It comes out exactly equal, except for the carbon that stays in your body tissues and the poop. They can then give you a carbon tax credit for gaining weight, and require a tax payment for losing weight, which will again come out exactly equal over your lifespan. In such a system, you'd get a death tax. And I mean a real death tax here, as your body dissipates its carbon back into the environment, dust to dust style. But if you apply your childhood tax credit for growing big and strong, it comes out to exactly zero again.
The problem is when carbon is dug out of the ground and released into the atmosphere.
