A climate skeptic speaks out - Washington Post
"Deniers" is a derogatory label used by the "settled science" community of alarmists who oversold and sensationalized the impending doom and lost a lot of us in the fury. That group brought us the evolving "global warming," or renamed "climate change," or newly renamed "climate disruption," as a fact. The group also insisted that the warming, change or disruption is caused by humans.

I would venture to say that most skeptics, or even deniers, believe that the planet is evolving, like it has many times before; the debate is whether the warming, change or disruption is strictly caused by humans. I remain skeptical and stay away from both deniers and doomsayers alike. Does that make me a conservative?
Need to speed up process of fighting global warming: Al Gore - Hindustan Times
[Gore] We all will have to redouble our efforts. We will have to build strong grass root support to overcome opposition to the climate law by special interest groups. People will have to be made more aware about the dangerous impact of climate change and their voice can bring about the change at the policy level.
... Leaders will have to become political activists and go at the grass root levels to speed up the process of fighting global warming.
The Day - Climate activist seeks recruits for his '350' campaign | News from southeastern Connecticut
He noted that the 350 campaign involved groups from far-flung parts of the globe, not mainly the "wealthy, white people who've solved their other problems" and who some people assume are the only ones concerned with environmental problems.

"Most of the people were poor and black and brown, and, what do you know - they were just as interested in their futures as we are," he said
