climate skeptic
Questions environmental science
A climate skeptic questions or doubts the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change.
The term ranges from those who dispute specific findings to those who reject climate science entirely.
Critics often prefer climate denier to emphasize rejection of established evidence, while those labeled climate skeptics may see themselves as applying healthy scientific doubt: As a climate skeptic, he demands more proof before supporting emissions regulations.
