Help me refute some wacky global warming denialism [View all]

From the shit-my-right-wing-fundy-sister-posts-on-Facebook-department:

http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/featured/prime-time/867432237001/overestimated-global-warming/2132917599001

My first impression is that they're basically taking the worst predictions from the earliest assessments, saying, "Gee we're not on fire or underwater yet! What a joke!", but I'm hoping someone else has seen more specific refutations of this crap.

This seems so crazy that I'm wondering how much is just outright lying, not distorting.
