Only to a complete idiot. Feynman was one of the most renowned geniuses ever to walk this planet. It takes eloquence to make plain the scientific method in so few words.
You mistake my post. I'm not saying what he is saying is wrong. I'm saying it doesn't relate to AGW. You think it does. And?
Then perhaps you would care to listen to Freeman Dyson FRS, who has more awards and theoretical achievements than probably all of the so-called "97% of all climatologists" combined, opinion on AGW.
This Freeman Dyson:
Dyson agrees that anthropogenic global warming exists, and has written that
[one] of the main causes of warming is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from our burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal and natural gas."[61] However, he believes that existing simulation models of climate fail to account for some important factors, and hence the results will contain too much error to reliably predict future trends

Sure, I'll listen to him
And then, because he is a great scientist he said this in 2014, funny how you didn't post this part of your link..... well, not really, you AGW types are intellectually dishonest.
"What has happened in the past 10 years is that the discrepancies between what's observed and what's predicted have become much stronger. It's clear now the models are wrong, but it wasn't so clear 10 years ago.[62]
He is among signatories of a letter to the UN criticizing the IPCC[63][64] and has also argued against ostracizing scientists whose views depart from the acknowledged mainstream of scientific opinion on climate change, stating that "heretics" have historically been an important force in driving scientific progress. "[H]eretics who question the dogmas are needed ... I am proud to be a heretic. The world always needs heretics to challenge the prevailing orthodoxies."[61]
Dyson says his views on global warming have been strongly criticized. In reply, he notes that "[m]y objections to the global warming propaganda are not so much over the technical facts, about which I do not know much, but it’s rather against the way those people behave and the kind of intolerance to criticism that a lot of them have."[65]
"In a 2014 interview, he said that "What I'm convinced of is that we don't understand climate ... It will take a lot of very hard work before that question is settled.
