Thanks to those who alerted me to this video. I decided to do a rebuttal because the "5 myths" included on Crowder's website included one that I had been wanting to address for a while: That 'manmade' CO2 only comprises 4% of the CO2 released every years, the rest being natural.
But it turned out this claim wasn't one of the "5 myths" Crowder transferred to video, for some reason. But I thought, what the Hell, I'll debunk his nonsense anyway.
