And, ironically, it seems to have links to those beautiful people, the AIDS deniers. So, in order to avoid being linked to people who deny the deaths of millions of people, Mack would rather be associated through a word with people who deny millions of deaths.

They think an "alarmist" is anyone who signals a warning. They'd call fire danger ratings "alarmist".Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-85212266019437315462014-07-19T18:57:48.184+10:002014-07-19T18:57:48.184+10:00Denier is a word, used in the same context as it i...Denier is a word, used in the same context as it is now, that has been used since the 1850s to describe those people who hold an impossible position in the face of scientific evidence. The prissy word "denialist" probably has a more recent coinage but I haven't checked that one yet.Catmandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12313870265499015076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-64281466383221222042014-07-19T18:10:50.554+10:002014-07-19T18:10:50.554+10:00I prefer to be called a "denialist" rath...I prefer to be called a "denialist" rather than denier, Sou, it's more professional.Macknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-80787096395428219332014-07-18T23:59:45.712+10:002014-07-18T23:59:45.712+10:00Added an update - there was a comment by the autho...Added an update - there was a comment by the author, Corey Lang, at WUWT.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-17987165613362149482014-07-18T23:21:02.786+10:002014-07-18T23:21:02.786+10:00Yes, that could be it, RN.

It offends their sense of propriety. <br /><br />It must present many deniers with a dilemma. I haven't seen too many climate science deniers defend everyone's right to call climate science deniers 'deniers', despite their views on free speech.Souhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818999735123752034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-14459547923973457742014-07-18T23:01:11.794+10:002014-07-18T23:01:11.794+10:00The second release had the word "deniers"...The second release had the word "deniers" in it.
