At a meeting last week I once again encountered resistance to describing those who refuse to accept the science that suggests a possible catastrophic Global Warming as “Deniers”. We had a discussion of suggestions:
Skeptics: this term is true of the approach of ALL scientists to ALL proposals. As Carl Sagan said; we greet any idea with skepticism, examine the scientific observations and theory, and accept on this basis. So those who deny the scientific observations are actually the opposite of skeptics (similarly for “critics” & “questioners”).
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

“So those who deny the scientific observations are actually the opposite of skeptics”. So who is denying the scientific OBSERVATIONS? It’s what they (GISS, the IPCC weenies, and the Hockey Team et al) DO to the raw observations that makes me sceptical. And since when did computer models consitute observations?
I think this Bob Brown is getting his terminology confused – i.e. confusing the term “observations” with something else. “Interpretations” or “hypotheses” or something.
