The entire "denier" language was chosen by the Left. Germany and Austria passed laws that prosecuted "Holocaust Deniers." While their intentions were good, it is never advisable for a Western nation to enact speech crimes.

The Left saw this, and ran with it. "Climate Change Denier" is now Leftist and mainstream media canon law in support of their paganism.

I was just a kid when I learned that denying the holocaust was illegal in Germany. I thought that was the stupidest thing I ever heard of, and I was happy I lived in a country where people were free to say anything they wanted too, even if they were making fools of themselves or insulting some. Times have changed.

"The Ministry for State Security (German: Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, MfS) or State Security Service (Staatssicherheitsdienst, SSD), commonly known as the Stasi (IPA: [ˈʃtaːziː]),[3] was the official state security service of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). It has been described as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies to have ever existed." The author was named after the state police of East Germany, seems fitting to me.
