[exert]: What to call a scientist or policy wonk, whatever, steadfastly insistent on not accepting the general climate science as viewed from the “consensus” perspective, in particular that Earth indeed is warming and primarily because of human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide?

If a Pat Michaels or a Richard Lindzen is a “skeptic” … what is Marc Morano?
