Please stop referring to climate sceptics as "sceptics". The terms are not interchangeable.
Yours sincerely,
Annoyed.

When I am writing an article about something wacky, such a UFO presumed to be extraterrestrial by weirdos, I use the word skeptic without clarifying whether they are UFO skeptics or all around skeptics. I let the context of the article explain the use of the word. I think it is possible to use the word and make it clear what the skeptics you are referring to are skeptical about without coming right out and saying it. Maybe I am missing something here.
