Reading clod's link I see "denier" used once, and that's the reference to Chris Mooney's article which uses the word in the title. If he was concerned about the word being cooped why would he link to a place doing that? I think your reasoning is faulty on that point. Just because he is rabid about anthropomorphic global warming and not rabid about vaccinations, doesn't make him a hypocrite so I don't follow your reasoning?
