Give me one arrogant answer to this. Call me names. Say whatever you want. Why not check the credibility of your sources when you read articles first and get back to me.

If you have nothing better to do than to go to yahoo answers and be sarcastic to every question you disagree with I strongly suggest you take a look at your social life and re-evaluate it.

Do you know what I want for Christmas?
A Chevy Suburban. However, I would really like a Hummer. Anything that will use up a lot of gas!
Maybe an armored car. That sounds cool. Diesel is better then gas anyway plus I'd have a bullet proof vehicle!
Sources? Oops, forgot about those. They would've been off the internet anyway so of course they're very credible. I'm pretty sure globalwarmingart.com and petroleumworld.com are unbiased sources.
I won't call you names because that's mean silly head.

Generally the only industrialized nations which object to global warming are China and the USA.
I have never really known china to be renowned for it's impeccable industrial standards, or even it awareness to the toxins it spews out. Remember these are the same people who think lead paint on a child's toy is AOK.

More than half the world acknowledges that humans are the primary cause of the current warming:

But I understand your frustration. Some people would rather listen to a few crackpots who tell them what they want to hear than the vast majority of the scientific experts who tell them the inconvenient reality of the situation. They're unreasonable people, and since they don't have scientific evidence to support them, they have to resort to ad hominem attacks like 'alarmists' and 'global warmers' and 'chicken littles'. It can get frustrating.
Just remember that while they're pretty loud, they're also in the vast majority. Even almost all of the Republican presidential nominees (Giuliani, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Brownback) and even Bush acknowledge that humans are the primary cause of the current warming and we need to do something about it.
The time for global warming denial is running out.

You've left a lot of people out.
Almost every world leader. Most corporate executives not in the fossil fuel business.
And your list of the most respected scientific organizations could be longer. Surely you don't want to leave out the American Meteorological Society (so much for Coleman and Gray) and the American Institute of Physics.
"Delusional" isn't the only choice either. They could be stupid, ignorant of the facts, or engaged in a giant conspiracy.
That would seem to be the only possibilities.

I know a guy who installs over 1,000 wind turbines a year in this country. He thinks global warming is a crock and co2 has no impact on the climate.
Maybe we should have him fired until he comes to the reality that we need to act fast before we kill the planet.
That will show him.
