It's pretty weak that 'denier' was the Greenie Weenie's most pejorative term. One of science's greatest tools is skepticism. One of its greatest features is that it can be dis-proven.

There is a great deal of evidence that the Earth is round and that it orbits the sun. I am not afraid to present this evidence to anyone who denies it. Yet, I'm also not afraid to modify the finer points. For instance, the Earth is not perfectly round. It is more correct to say that the Earth-Moon system orbits the Sun. It was long believed that the Earth floats in a substance called 'ether' because there was no such thing as a vacuum in nature. This was eventually dis-proven, and life went on.

Just today I ran acrosss this one :

Reasoning, tested by doubt, is argumentation."

To the climate neurotics, argumentation consists of name-calling and profanity.

Their actions speak much louder than their words.
