is alarmed by the fact that the earth may be getting warmer, or
someone who tries to terrify or intimidate others into being
alarmed by that view.

does not accept that humans are the cause, or main cause, of global
warming.

does not believe the earth is getting significantly
hotter.
Legitimate doubter of anthropogenic global warming (LDAGW) — someone who
is convinced there is enough scientific evidence against human-caused global warming to legitimately doubt either that there is a problem or that humans can do anything about it.
Climate change skeptic (CCS) — someone who
doubts that the climate is changing. In reality, nearly everyone
knows the climate changes, so this label is usually wrongly applied
to global warming skeptics or legitimate doubters.
Climate change denier (CCD) — technically
this is someone who does not believe that the climate is changing.
In reality, nearly everyone knows the climate changes, so people
who label others as climate change deniers usually don't realize
they should be calling them global warming deniers.
