The climate-change deniers are rapidly ending up with as much intellectual credibility as creationists and Flat Earthers. They are nudging close to having the moral credibility of Holocaust deniers.

Johann Hari

Climate deniers are less immoral than Holocaust deniers, although they are undoubtedly more dangerous.

Clive Hamilton

Creationists and Holocaust deniers are both very similar - both are denying what is a perfectly manifest fact. In the case of Holocaust deniers it's more recent history, but in both cases the evidence - in favour of the Holocaust and evolution - is simply overwhelming. That doesn't mean they are morally or politically equivalent. But they are equivalent in denying history.

Richard Dawkins

Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers.

Ellen Goodman

There are bound to be deniers. Whenever you set up a thesis there's bound to be somebody who comes the opposite way …like Holocaust deniers.

Pete Postlethwaite

An Inconvenient Truth is so convincing that it makes opposers of the argument as credible as Holocaust deniers.

Jon Niccum

I would like to say we're at a point where global warming is impossible to deny. Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers, though one denies the past and the other denies the present and future.

Ellen Goodman

I … noticed something striking about my growing cast of deniers. None of them were deniers.

Lawrence Solomon

The obvious reductio ad absurdum is Holocaust deniers: Should their perspective be provided, for "balance," any time someone writes about the Holocaust?

Chris Mooney

I do think it's often a mistake to call them climate skeptics. I think they're deniers, just as I think president Ahmadinejad of iran who claims not to believe that the Holocaust occurred.

Thomas Schelling

Despite the international scientific community's consensus on climate change, a small number of critics continue to deny that climate change exists or that humans are causing it. Widely known as climate change "skeptics" or "deniers," these individuals are generally not climate scientists and do not debate the science with the climate scientists.

David Suzuki

The Holocaust deniers, some say it never happened. But more say, "Oh, yeah, millions were killed, but it wasn't directed at the Jews. They didn't suffer specially compared to anybody else." They try to downplay it.
