This title... it's so full of Newspeak.
First the term "Climate Change Denial"; this term alone vilifies anyone who doesn't agree with "Climate Change" as a "denier".
Doesn't matter what they disagree with, let it be the constantly shifting computer models provided by a biased Government organization as the only proof of "Climate Change", or that temperature readings over the last 18 years have shown no warming, cooling, what-so-ever, or that the ice sheets are increasing in size and we currently are seeing record polar bear populations, or many other points. Pick one, any one and you are deemed a "denier".
Then the fact the study didn't look at who "Denied Climate Change" it looked at people who accepted the concept of Climate Change but disagreed that it was man-made. This is some crazy conflation here. Again, disagree with any part of the narrative and you are a denier!!!
Now lets tear apart the term "denier". This is my final point. I can only deny dogma. Scientific Theories are "disagreed with"; dogmatic religious beliefs are "denied".
Belief in Climate Change is akin to a dogmatic religious belief and anyone who spouts such obvious Newspeak is an evangelical Climate Change preacher.
