At any rate it looks like a copy and paste job from some pre-assembled list.
Yep. An "American Thinker" article. Let's disseminate that article:
"Throughout the entire 120 year period fossil fuel use was growing exponentially, population growth was exploding, and CO2 concentration was increasing. The fact that temperatures both rose and fell during this period shows that there is no correlation between temperature, fossil fuels, CO2 and the human population."
This isn't a "fact", it's speculation followed by a strawman. It doesn't matter how bad AGW gets, the temperature will continue to rise and fall until the end of time. AGW deals with average global temperature, which has risen steadily over those 120 years, consistent with AGW and the humans using fossil fuels.
"Storm activity, floods, droughts, and sea levels have also fluctuated throughout billions of years."
Again, AGW has to do with the rate at which things are changing, and not the change. Things have fluctuated for billions of years, but the evidence suggests they have never fluctuated at this rate. The reason they are changing at a phenomenal rate is consistent with AGW theory and not natural variation. Unless there is some relativistic effect causing the Earth to move faster through time, the current change must be induced and not "natural".
"The fact is, fossil fuels have greatly improved the length and quality of life for everyone the last 150 years. "
More speculation, but surprise, this is an actual fact supported by evidence although none is given.
"When scientists, bureaucrats and politicians predict the number of deaths from fossil fuels years out, why don't they point out the number of lives saved each year because we have fossil fuels?"
So there's an AGW Deadpool? I haven't seen a single scientist claim that x number of people are going to die in y years??? I wouldn't put it past bureaucrats or politicians, but still I haven't seen this.
"I think that people are absolutely nuts if they believe politicians and bureaucrats can control temperatures, sea levels and storm activity forever if we just hand over our freedom and trillions of dollars."
Strawman. Curbing fossil fuel use has nothing to do with controlling the weather. The basis for AGW can best be surmised by Benjamin Franklin "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. The planet has a cancer, called "humanity".
