Holocaust denial analogy (version A)
Some commentators have argued that the "denial" terminology is intended to equate global warming scepticism with Holocaust denial, notably Roger A. Pielke (Jr), Dennis Prager, Brendan O'Neill, author Richard D. North, or Professor Emeritus of English Charles Jones. .

Climate change denial (not skepticism) has in fact been associated with the Holocaust denial by some commentators, notably by Ellen Goodman, George Monbiot, and Peter Christoff. O’Neill responds, saying that comparisons of climate change denial to Holocaust denial "is an affront to freedom of speech and open, rational debate." North states, "It is deeply pejorative to call someone a 'climate change denier' . . . it is a phrase designedly reminiscent of the idea of Holocaust denial . . ."

Holocaust denial analogy (version B)
Several Op-Ed commentators have argued that the "denial" terminology is intended to equate disagreement with the scientific consensus with Holocaust denial.

Holocaust denial analogy (version C)
Several commentators have made the comparison between holocaust denial and climate change denial,    whereas others have decried those comparisons as inappropriate.
