There are many people who openly state that the climate is not changing. It is objectively correct to use the term "denial" to describe their position.
However, you say we should not use this term, and don't propose any alternative labels, so in effect you are saying we should not talk about them at all. I think that is a very bad idea.
As far as changing people's minds, I was asking what would do that.
