warmist
Accepts heating theory
A warmist is someone who accepts or promotes the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change—used dismissively by climate skeptics.
The term frames concern about global warming as ideological rather than evidence-based: The warmists want to shut down the coal industry.
It parallels formations like alarmist, suggesting exaggerated worry.
