There is no such thing as global warming. Even if there was, think of the animals at the equator that like warmer weather. What would happen to them if there was global cooling?

Red herring.

The speaker introduces an irrelevant issue (how some equatorial animals might prefer warmth) to distract from the actual question of whether global warming exists or is problematic, so the argument dodges the real issue.
