I prefer the term "man-made climate change" over simply "climate change". I too agree that climate change is real, but don't believe the man-made variety exists.
^ Fair catch, I, too, believe climate change happens. In fact, if the earth isn't either warming or cooling at any one point, I'd be enormously alarmed.
To be fair, though, I am trying to quite their arguments; part of the illogical nature of those arguments is that they conflate an issue with a very specific agenda/narrative. To them, "climate change" can ONLY mean one thing. Denial of that one thing is "denial of climate change" as a whole; just like being against the covid vaccinations (or now forced vaccinations) is being "anti-vax", despite that many people that are against the covid vaccinations are for other vaccines.
Literal logical fallacy (improper appeal to authority), probably among the top three, alongside ad homenim and ad populum.
For those who don't know;
*the Climate Change agenda/narrative, not literal climate change
edit: added star to clarify as per valid concern from MyDaughtersDaddy

Either way, I will edit it to reflect this!
