Twitter discussion: Are we all OK with "Nature" using the word "denier" nearly 50 times on one web page?

Twitter / richardabetts: @NatureClimate Also, "Deni

Also, "Denier" is an unnecessarily inflammatory label, and only causes distraction by getting people worked up. Bad move.

I struggle to believe that the authors don't know the impact of the word 'denier', given the subject matter.

I'm not convinced the authors understand the psychology of their audience very well >>

It's a good move *if* the intention is to give sceptics another excuse to say we're all green religious zealots!
