Personally I'd have to call anyone who doesn't believe in Global Warming/Human Influenced Climate Change as nuts... like anti-Evolution nuts - people more influenced by ideology than a rational and objective view. However I do understand why there are many in the US that don't believe it, simply because the issue has been seized upon by political factions and turned into a partisan issue, which is a shame since the partisan climate hinders any constructive debate.

One thing that I learned in taking courses on the life sciences or even Archaeology is that the ecology and climate is a finely balanced system, where humans can and have messed it up numerous times through their actions - so why should now be any different given the greater influence man has now (numbers, industry, habitation zones, ecological exploitation, etc.)? The only reason I can point to is political.
