Guys, I am still trying to understand: who are climate deniers?

Well, a mistake in itself.
Denier is a strong word, used essentially to talk about the Shoah deniers, people believing nazis never killed all those people and that extermination camps don't exist.

So denier is not a good word for what we're talking about. Cause there is not such a huge and solid proof for climate change.

But I still think, from what I know, that most people being "deniers" are still a bit mindlessly obstinate ^^
They are people saying the impact of mankind on environment is not that big because "you don't know maybe it would have happened anyway!"  Tongue

(and most of them are American! xD )

Or, such as in my case, I said 10 years ago that climate sensitivity was likely 1/3 of what the Faithful Believers said, what the climate alarmists shrilly proclaimed.  This was based on math and statistics - analysis.

So they gleefully called me a denier.

But they were wrong, and I was right.

Now, many of them still have not accepted evidence today of lower climate sensitivity.

Who is the denier?
