It wasn't intended as an insult or compliment.

I would generally be called a skeptic, contrarian, or denier depending on who you ask, but neither really fully describes my position on the issue. Much like the original term "global warming" is also an incomplete description, but anyone will know what you are talking about if you say it.

EDIT: Other terms like "believer" and "alarmist" are sometimes thrown around, but I figured those were even less appropriate (if they were ever) so I tried to use the most neutral term as possible to name your position.

If you found the term offensive, I apologize.
