Calling watts up “skeptical” is like calling holocaust deniers history skeptics. It’s blatant propaganda.

Skeptics means climate change denialist in your context.
No it doesn't. Very few "climate change skeptics" deny the climate changes. That's a very weak position and changes can be easily seen in almost any data set.

Climate change denialism is a strawman position, designed specifically to sound extreme in order to stop people getting curious and investigating the real beliefs of these bloggers.
