Climate change denial is a term that refers to the rejection of the idea that the Earth's climate is changing due to human activities. However, there are several synonyms for climate change denial, such as climate change skepticism, climate change contrarianism, and climate change rejectionism. These terms describe the same phenomenon of discrediting scientific evidence and downplaying the urgency of addressing climate change. Some other related terms include climate change minimization, climate change avoidance, and climate change equivocation. All of these terms reflect a disturbing trend of ignoring the reality of climate change and its dire consequences for the planet and humanity.
