A Scientist is Skeptic. This is not unusual. They follow their beliefs. Sometimes they live at skeptical camp, and when other they stay at denier camp. Interestingly, The Deniers tend to the name Skeptic. The Deniers call their opposite side as Alarmist. But the Alarmists claim they are real Skeptics. Both are skeptical. They are scientist.
Muller made his statement clearly and specifically about global warming. WUWT should not be nervous. However, Muller believes that the rate of global warming is now insignificant but it is true. Muller is no longer a Denier.
Not long ago, James Lovelock said that Gaia hypothesis has no scientific validity. The Deniers took it as a sign of victory.
I just watched this video interview on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show (h/t to Poptech)
Despite the tacky caption, it was what Dr. Muller didn’t talk about that was, ahem, the best part.

Climate change deniers are not sceptics as they do not hold their own belief systems up to the same scrutiny that they try and hold the scientific evidence for global warming to.They readily accept any garbage that comes along if they think it fits in with their belief system regardless of the quality of that information. Further, the tactics they use to distort the science on global warming are exactly the same asthe tactice used by the tobacco companies, HIV/AIDS deniers, anti fluoridation and anti-vaccination loonies and conspiracy theorists in general. I just blogged about this. http://uknowispeaksense.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/they-dont-like-being-called-deniers-but/
