'''Climate change denial''' and '''climate deniers''' are [[pejorative]] terms used by [[pseudoscientic]] [[bigot]]s to attack dissenters of [[climate alarmism]].  The terms are often employed to denigrate opponents of the [[leftist]] [[war on science]].  It has been described as a shameful and [[hyperbolic]] attempt to equate rational science and people of faith with [[neo-nazi]] [[holocaust denier]]s.

There is no place for it in [[civil]] discussions. However heated the [[debate]] over issues of the day, we would urge you to refrain from using Holocaust imagery in the future.”<ref>https://atlanta.adl.org/news/adl-condemns-nazi-analogy/</ref>}}
