Was this a religious ceremony complete with a sermon or a telethon?

Can someone explain to me what a "climate denier" is and give me an example of someone that denies the climate changes?

  You mean "climate change denier"? I don't think anyone has ever denied there is a climate.

 

   Anyway, here. First hit from 4,000,000+ on google  (which you probably could have gotten yourself). Basically, it's a form of denialism, which in psychology refers to an individuals way of avoiding truths that they are not comfortable with. If you don't like Wikipedia, you have several other options you can go to for the definition.

    

Quote

Climate change denial, or global warming denial, is part of the global warming controversy. It involves denial, dismissal, unwarranted doubt or contrarian views contradicting the scientific opinion on climate change, including the extent to which it is caused by humans, its impacts on nature and human society, or the potential of adaptation to global warming by human actions.^[1][2][3] Some deniers do endorse the term, but others often prefer the term climate change skepticism.^[2] However several scientists researching this phenomenon have noted that "skepticism" is a misnomer and an inaccurate description when referring to those who deny anthropogenic global warming.^[4][5][6] In effect, the two terms form a continuous, overlapping range of views, and generally have the same characteristics: both reject, to a greater or lesser extent, mainstream scientific opinion on climate change.^[7][8] Climate change denial can also be implicit, when individuals or social groups accept the science but fail to come to terms with it or to translate their acceptance into action.^[9] Several social science studies have analyzed these positions as forms of denialism^[7][8] and pseudoscience.^[10]

I think you would be an excellent example of a climate change denier.

Actually I have never denied that the climate changes. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone else denying the climate changes either. I just understand that the Sun is the driver of that change and not SUVs or cow farts unlike the Sun deniers.

   The high point of the modern maximum was somewhere in the late 1950's. I'm curious to hear your hypothesis on why observed temperatures have increased as solar activity has decreased.

   You could also pick anyone at random  from Trumps's cabinet and chances are you would have a good example.

Someone who doesn't fall for the fascist mentality and join the church.

I seem to remember last time you tried to convince us that only water vapor was coming out of smokestacks. That would place you in a special category of climate change denier.

   Again, the definition you requested - Climate change denial involves denial, dismissal, unwarranted doubt or contrarian views contradicting the scientific opinion on climate change, including the extent to which it is caused by humans.

 

  By your own admission, you are denying the extent of anthropomorphic involvement, which by definition (see above), makes you a climate change denier.

  A lot of people agree with the scientific consensus Bill. That's why they call it consensus. By definition, we are a large demographic. You may want to avoid the use of derogatory labels. It is not necessary just because you disagree.
