Global warming denial is a snarl word used by believers in anthropogenic global warming to describe those who are less passionate about the issue than they are, or who believe other explanations for "global warming" are more likely. It is used to liken "global warming" skepticism to Holocaust denial using guilt by association, but the use of such a tactic, which is intentional on the part of "climate change" alarmists, is considered highly offensive (particularly by actual Holocaust survivors and their families) and could be considered a form of anti-Semitism[1] because it trivializes the Holocaust and its victims and survivors.[2]
