I wouldn't personally call it "balanced" either (unless "balanced" counts anything between extreme climate change alarmism and extreme climate change denial).
That said, I do think it's a valuable contrarian perspective, and if you haven't heard the steel-manned version of the climate change "skeptic" argument, it's absolutely worth listening to just to add some nuance to your existing views even if it doesn't necessarily change them. There are some really legitimate, strong criticisms that he raises in the episode that I personally plan on doing more research on.
(also: he was Chief Scientist in BP with their alternative and renewable energy strategy)
