What name-calling? Accurate descriptions are not name-calling, and false descriptions - such as describing those who reject climate science as skeptics, when they're anything but - are just lies.

Further, if these people were really skeptics, we'd expect them to apply equal skepticism to both sides, but they don't. Instead, every claim, no matter how easily disproved, that can be used to cast doubt on climate science is embraced with a pure credulity untinged by any hint of skepticism. The Sun's getting warmer? Other planets are warming too? Climate scientists are just in it for the money? The Romans grew grapes in Britian, and the Vikings went to Greenland for tropical beach vacations? Where's the skepticism?
