" A better term would be 'independent thinkers." De nile is overflowing its banks. Flood water in front of Renaissance Dam will not affect Egypt's water security level: statement Most "deniers" accept that the client is changing" They don't; they accept that everything science knows is wrong. Some even deny that climate science is science.... "I recognize that climate science as it is practiced is not real science." Message 31185962

The point is, Deniers aren't a monolith. RE: "Stop saying you 'believe' in climate change" My point was about the use of language--"believing in" warming as opposed to recognizing the phenomenon. I had made that point in an earlier discussion (to which I linked in my response) and, having happened upon this piece making the same point, I posted it for reinforcement because I think it's important. My point was addressed in the title of the piece, above, which went on to submit that it wasn't in the best interest of the cause to continue that unfortunate usage. Whatever the piece might have had to say about deniers didn't register with me. it was definitely not my intention to reignite this endless back and forth on the verity of the claims.
