This video proves that we just fabricated Global Warming...er...Climate Change for political power. Do you think the usual snide, dismissive remarks will be enough to counter it?

A fellow skeptic sent this video to me back in September asking what I, a long-time skeptic of AGW, thought of it. After watching it, I responded that it is a terrible video. A high school debate team could have done a much better job.
He rightly accuses the National Climate Assessment of cherry-picking start dates to misrepresent alarmist data. but he presents it with a lame attempt at humor with his "software" to cherry-pick start dates to prove whatever you want. He calls this a "massive fraud" in the same monotone used throughout the presentation.
It's a shame he didn't run this video by some people with presentation skills. They would have ripped it apart. He makes 3 good points using his sliding timeline charts, but they get lost due to the following weaknesses in delivery.

Organization: C

Use of humor: D-

Research: B- (cherry-picking data points is well known among skeptics)
