A couple sentences before this he dismisses higher CO2 concentrations as a natural cycle. Would anybody be shocked if he pulled a Hitchens?

Cockburn’s been saying this for years. I tell you it’s because he
loves big old Chryslers (back when I used to keep up with him, he had
about a dozen stashed all over the US, in part because he had no
credit card and couldn’t rent a car), and wants to blame corporations
for environmental problems. If you start talking about cars
contributing to global warming, you have to start talking about
massive changes in spatial layout and transportation habits that
would force big changes onto daily life, and he doesn’t want to talk
about that.
