re: #28 Sergey Romanov

They’re deniers, not skeptics. If I ever used this noble word in relation to them (even in quotes), I think I will always just call them deniers now.

I get that….

But being naturally predisposed to skepticism, I’m reluctant to overuse the term “denier” - not that I doubt that deniers exist in the climate debate.

On top of that, as a logistical consideration, I think that the uncertainty about just who is a “denier” and who is a skeptic has been exploited by deniers for political advantage - so in my own small way, I use “skeptic” in quotes.
