Federal scientist picked by Trump fights back at being called a ‘climate denier’ – ‘How exactly do you deny a noun? Can you deny baseball? Can you deny grass? Can you deny mountains? Climate exists’
Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki, Director – United States Global Change Research Program: “How can I simultaneously ‘deny climate change’ while constantly talking about past climate changes, ice ages, warm periods, droughts, floods, and the natural variability recorded throughout Earth’s history?”
A neat way of putting it, there are lots of other examples using proper nouns.
Can you deny Ed Miliband?
Can you deny the BBC?
Can you deny the Guardian?

It has come to the stage now that if I hear or read the words " Man Made Climate Change" I automatically discount anything else that the speaker may say. .
I was 'denied' a refund recently, but it wasn't a noun, it was ninety quid!
John - I tend to do that too, but the battle is not yet over.
Scrobs - ninety quid? Give them a stinker of a review.
