Climate change “deniers” and “skeptics”: What’s the difference? | The Curious Wavefunction, Scientific American Blog Network

As far as I can tell there are three central premises of the science of climate change, stated in my opinion in increasing order of uncertainty:

1. The climate is warming.  [Over what time scale?]
2. This warming is unprecedented and is almost certainly because of human influence.
3. This unprecedented warming is going to do some very bad things.

To me it appears that almost nobody except the most rabid fundamentalist denier would have a problem with the first point. Personally I would also call someone who disagrees with the second point as at least leaning toward being a denier; to me there’s really no other good explanation for the warming that we have seen except human activity.

The third point is where it gets more interesting.
