Right. Actually the most vocal skeptics are not paid by anybody, most notably unlike the most vocal True Believers who are paid quite handsomely by the multi-billion $ MMGW industry.

And to address the OP, so you're saying WATER VAPOR has increased dramatically? Because, you know, WATER VAPOR is by far the biggest greenhouse gas of them all, having an overall effect on the order of 80:1 over CO2.

If you want to know where I stand on MMGW, I'm a skeptic and this scientist's recent speech is something I agree with very much. MMGW is a pseudoscience, and can be demonstrated as such. The skeptical line that disagrees with the conjecture that it is likely to be catastrophic unless drastic and expensive changes happen is actually based in sound science. It is, actually, just that simple.
