Worth a read if people are going to continue using or emphasising contraversial names for others of differing views :

Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers

The article does continue the "religion" meme that James referred to earlier - and to be perfectly clear I don't subscribe to that view of those who accept CAGW, people's views are far more complex and worthy of more respect - but it puts the origins of "denier" in relation to this debate into context. I agree with the ending though :

And what is it but an act of bullying to deny that there is any room for honest disagreement, to insist that those of us who are unpersuaded are the equivalent of Holocaust deniers, that we are not merely mistaken but evil?

I have to say rehashing campaign pieces from campaign websites quoting campaigners calling people who do not agree with their campaign names is not going to be all that pursuasive. If you insist on continuing then I feel my ignore list may get its one and only member. If you want to debate then do so.
I'm also very very tired and fed up of the "right = evil anti AGW skeptic denier Republican oil funded new world order conspiracy" and "left = tree hugging hippie watermelon commie" bollocks names used by
both sides.

If we carry on like this then the oil will have run out and we will have boiled / frozen to death before anything gets done.
Enough name calling, please.
