Probably in the hope of driving a stake through the heart of AGW skeptics in Copenhagen, a self-described Al Gore trainee named Kevin Grandia has created the term "Copendenier." He must really like it, for he has even authored a Wiki page announcing the term to the world.

I'm always fascinated by new words, but what surprised me about this one is that even though it's quite new, it already gets over 10,000 Google hits. However, I think it will soon slide into oblivion.

Unlike "Climategate." (Although it's worth noting that despite 11 million Google hits, the term still has not earned a Wiki page.)

I guess the rule is COPENDENIERS YES, CLIMATEGATE NO!

I can live with that.

At least in the philosophical sense.
