The scientific consensus clearly does not support your position.
Even among the relatively small minority of scientists who are not part of the consensus regarding global warming, the prevailing opinion is that there is not yet sufficient evidence for anthropogenic attribution. In other words, most of the informed opposition to the consensus does not support your "arrogance" claim either.

Man has never been able to overcome nature. That is the arrogance of which I speak.......it is not a personal insult to you. I don't play that game. Would you prefer the term hubris? I simply do not place all of my faith in science or believe everything some PhD tells me. Visit a little site called
www.climateaudit.org sometime. It's for professionals, so quite a lot of geekspeak goes on. But I find it very interesting. Especially when they shine the light on dishonest scholarship. Oh, but surely those global warming chaps wouldn't have an agenda, would they? Never let it be said that I hit and run. Here's a link to a Denver Post article which mentions William Gray, meterology professor emeritus at Colorado State U. and hurricane expert, along with others who consider the current hype to be a scam.
