I have to accept that very few 'climate deniers' on this NG will read,
much less accept, peer reviewed work by trained scientists. But
blog-watching, the Daily Mail and hunches. Really?

What do you mean by 'climate denier':


Those who don't accept a link between human activity and climate.

So, it is a misnomer, as it is not climate change that is being denied.
It is your belief as to the cause that is in dispute. Presumably you use
the term denier to imply that their views are, somehow, less valid than
your own. Unbeliever would probably be more in keeping with the status
of anthropogenic climate change as a system of belief that has not been
proven.


No, not my belief - keep those out of it for the moment!

My understanding of the phrase is that a climate change denier refutes
the notion that the climate is changing because of human activity. Is
that not correct?
