Unfortunate that the author chooses to use the phrase "climate change deniers" in his opening paragraph, as it is such a lazy (and emotion-laden) term most often used to lump those who are unconvinced of anthropogenic climate change along with model skeptics, opponents of the subject's politicization and/or socially-focused "fixes", and the inevitable bunch that believe that the whole thing is a Marxist plot.
It's a subtle means of intimidation: toe the popular line on climate change, or be branded a heretic. It has no place in serious discussion of the topic.
