More bull****. Having access to the internet does not make people credible.
Of the three links in the opening paragraphs, the one that goes to his title "head of space research" links to a job search website. The one that goes to "astronomical" goes to a site where you can download astronomical games.
The third is to an organisation that according to themselves
The Heartland Institute is a national nonprofit research and education organization, tax exempt under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, and founded in Chicago in 1984. It is not affiliated with any political party, business, or foundation.
Heartland's mission is to discover, develop, and promote free-market solutions to social and economic problems. Such solutions include parental choice in education, choice and personal responsibility in health care, market-based approaches to environmental protection, privatization of public services, and deregulation in areas where property rights and markets do a better job than government bureaucracies.
and according to wikipedia
Oil companies have contributed substantially to the Heartland Institute.[9] ExxonMobil contributed a total of $560,000 between 1998 and 2005.[10] This included $119,000 in 2005, ExxonMobil's largest gift to Heartland in that period. Nearly 40% of funds from ExxonMobil were specifically designated for climate change projects.[11] Greenpeace research showed that the Heartland Institute had received almost $800,000 from ExxonMobil.[12]

Clearly the main source of heat for the Earth's atmosphere is the Sun. So if the Sun somehow radiates less or more heat then its possible the Earth's climate will be affected.
However this should not be a reason to treat the atmosphere as a sewer and just dump any crap into it without expecting to pay a price for it down the line.
