Most people object to being called 'deniers'. They would prefer to be called 'skeptics', but oftentimes that is an inaccuate label.
Note that 'denier' has absolutely nothing to do with the Holocaust. A 'denier' is simply a person who denies reality.
How about this definition - a 'denier' is a person who continually rejects established scientific data and instead continually makes false and unsubstantiated claims (for example 'no warming since 1998' when the data clearly proves otherwise).

Can we agree on this definition? That way, if the 'skeptics' can provide solid scientific links (and I'm not talking about right-wing blogs, junkscience.com, or surfacestations.org, I'm talking scientific data), then they're don't qualify as 'deniers'. Sound fair?
