"I'm not a climate change denier but let me just deny all the science that CO2 is meaningfully contributing to climate change"

What exactly do you think the definition of a "climate change denier" is?

The important part isn't recognizing that climate change exists. The important part is recognizing why and what needs to be done about it.

You're misinformed about the science on this one...

What exactly do you think the definition of a "climate change denier" is? - It's someone that doesn't think Earth's climate is changing. It's NOT someone that doesn't think CO2/cows/etc actually has a role in it.

Climate is indeed changing. What he's trying to argue is the role of CO2 in all of it.

100% right about this:"The important part is recognizing why".

So far no raw data has been made fully available to see see what, how, when and why. At least I was not able to find the data those graphs that you keep popping up are based on. I also don't remember seeing any of these graphs taking account solar activity either since that is our heat source after all.

That is a literal interpretation of the words "climate change denier."

It's meaning in the cultural zeitgeist, however, has evolved to include people who don't deny that the climate does change over time, or even is currently changing; but, who deny the science supporting anthropogenic climate change, specifically the clear impacts to atmospheric CO2 starting during the industrial revolution and driven primarily by fossil fuel emissions.

Essentially, I think most people would agree at this point that the common usage also includes people who deny we can/should do anything about climate change, or that the current situation vis-a-vis greatly accelerated climate change is our "fault."

The records re: CO2 are not hard to find, they come from ice cores and date back ~800,000 years.
