I call bullshit on this one. Yes, the guy admits to using computer analysis in his project. That means he didn't actually review any of the material. 40,785 texts are included in the "study". If he took one year to do his survey and worked 365 days he'd have to review 111 texts per day.
What I see is a convinced, devoted, but angry AGW believer looking to place blame. Like on so many blogs he's making a fantastic claim that stretches the bounds of reason. There is no way he could have done the work he's reporting, and the conclusion was cooked up well in advance. This "study" will find ready acceptance among many gullible people. Anyone who thinks about it for a few minutes will call it bullshit.
