QED those who dont believe in climate change are denying its existence and are thus climate change deniers - it is a simple descriptive term and nothing to do with linkage to the holocaust. |
Without getting too much into tautology and pedantry,you cannot deny a theory,as it is just that,a theory,you can disagree with it certainly.And in the "Modern World", yes Denier does have conatations to the Holocaust,which is why it has started to be used in this context,I've been watching it happen.Interestingly,someone started a Group (meant to be in fun) saying "AGW Deniers should be considered insane" (or somesuch),most people who joined it knew it was just humour,BUT some joined it in all seriousness !!!.Did'nt save it,but if you Google it I'm sure you'll find it,and probably a few more !.
ps, The Hockey Stick ?,your believeing the BBC !!!!, I said RIP to the most impartial news service a few years back,sorry.
