re: #173 harrisam

That is news to me but if you say so then OK.
Tell me, if you can, why the word “denier” was chosen as the collective name for those who question the concept. It has a very pejorative connotation in light of the use of the word with respect to Holocaust Deniers.

If I could interject myself into this discussion…

I think saying One-Who-Refuses-To-Believe-In-Global-Warming is a little lengthy. I’m fairly sure the vast majority of us Jews would not object to the short version “Denier.” I mean, you’re not calling anyone a Nazi. A Nazi has really only one meaning (unless you’re using obvious humor, like Soup Nazi), but denier? I think that’s stretching it quite a bit.
