I don't like either label, because climate change is not a religion.
Instead, I prefer the 6 categories identified by @YaleClimateComm for the US. climatecommunication.yale.ed…

5 yrs ago, I was making the Thanksgiving pies when I got a call: the Trump admin, who’d been delaying the release of the Natl Climate Asst indefinitely, had suddenly announced its release on Black Friday. We had 3 days to get it out. Here’s what happened: scicomm.plos.org/2019/03/01/…

This short clip is a master class in how to communicate the risk of climate impacts and the urgency of climate action. Give it a listen!
