It doesnt really imply that though does it. It just means the climate is changing. IMO this is why there was a big pushback against it for a long time, the term used to describe it does not infer anything wrong.

No the pushback is because of money. The words don't matter when so much money is at stake.

Im refering to pushback of regular people who deny climate change like they do any other conspiracy theory.

Why did regular people start thinking of climate change as a "conspiracy theory" in the first place? Money.
