You said it yourself: the term being associated with the holocausts is associated with alarmists. They're guilty of hyperbole, shame on them.
There's a great blog in the NYT, usually written by Olivia Judson, that just recently made the case that if you think of preserving the environment in terms of shares to be invested in by partners in industry, the bias of profit is in behaviors that are eco-friendly. The "costs of fixing" the problem will be repaid in long term dividends of the increased diversity and productivity of our ecosystems. The fixes aren't expensive, either, not all of them. Some, I grant you, would be a burden, but if that burden would sustain the planet more hospitably over time, that burden would be offset.
Perhaps you would be in favor of the term "climate obscurantist." What are the odds of that taking off?
In the interest of fairness, I will take a look at that website. However, I would urge you to do a search or three on PubMed. The bias of scientifically reviewed papers affirms that global warming exists and has had and will have a significant impact.
