Denier is a commonly used english word that descibes someone who denies, or is in denial about, something.
The people who think it automatically conflates climate-change deniers with holocaust deniers are largely climate-change deniers themsleves.

Me - I'm offended by people who spout lies about science or arrogantly think they somehow know more about the subject than the acknowledged experts in the field.
I'm even more offended by those who accuse eminent scientists of professional dishonesty (without a shred of real evidence) or those who send climate-scientists death threats or hate-mail for simply doing their job.
