Global warming denial is a snarl word used by believers in anthropogenic global warming to describe those who are less passionate about the issue than they are, or who believe other explanations for global warming are more likely. It is used to liken global warming skepticism to Holocaust denial using guilt by association.
- Global warming “deniers” are attacked, not because they stand against a mythical scientific "consensus", but because they stand against powerful liberal special interest groups: the environmental lobby and Internationalists. The global-warming threat must be maximized so that environmentalists can keep raising more money and getting more political influence. [1]
