There isn't any such thing as an "Environmental Religious Freak" so you basically said anyone can answer your question. Just though I'd point that out...
Anyway, if you feel that you simply 'must' impose your personal beliefs upon your poor little brother, I would suggest that you spend a few hours intensively researching every argument for and against the theory. That way you'll know which arguments are good and which are rubbish. And, if you're like me (I started researching GW theory because I wanted desperately to disprove it), perhaps you'll realize that the evidence supporting the theory is simply overwhelming.
You might start here and see which of your arguments against it have been disproven so you won't embarrass yourself by using them:
http://realclimate.org/
RealClimate is a Blog run by fifteen highly qualified climate scientists, atmospheric physicists, and oceanic chemists, so you can lay any worries you may have about the site's credibility to rest.
And you should also read up on the theory's history so you'll know when and where it all came about. So to further this goal, here's my absolute favorite site on GW theory ever written. It's a comprehensive history of the whole thing, from its origins in the nineteenth century to present written by a physicist and science historian. An absolute must read if you have even the slightest interest in science or the scientific method.

You can deprogram anything. Even the truth.
That's what seems to have happened here. Newt's advice is good:
"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives Tuesday to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"
The swindle video is bogus.
It is simply a political statement which distorts science. The director has a history of putting out misleading stuff. In 1997 he made a series for Channel 4 called “Against Nature”, which compared environmentalists with Nazis. Channel 4 had to apologise for the misleading stuff in that one. The present movie is also a distortion of the science. More here:
"A Channel 4 documentary claimed that climate change was a conspiratorial lie. But an analysis of the evidence it used shows the film was riddled with distortions and errors."
http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/climate_change/article2355956.ece
"The science might be bunkum, the research discredited. But all that counts for Channel 4 is generating controversy."

History of the director.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Durkin_(television_director)
Gore's movie may be a little over dramatic, but it has the basic science right. This movie does not.
Channel 4 itself undercuts the movie in a funny way. If you go to their website on the movie you find links to real global warming information. They also have a way to "Ask the Expert" about global warming. The questions go to a respected mainstream scientist who supports (mostly) human responsibility for global warming.

Yes - go and find the credible evidence that refutes the theory of global warming and climate change.
You'll be looking for a long time because there isn't any.
Even the multinational oil companies with their vast resources were unable to come up with anything and have now conceded global warming to be a very real threat.
Prove me wrong - provide just one link to just one credible scientific study that disproves global warming.
