Original sentence: Critics of this scepticism, particularly environmentalists, dismiss it entirely, since many of the sceptics have ties to the fossil fuel industry or other industries involved in emissions of greenhouse gases that are believed to cause global warming, and thus are not "disinterested" parties.Global warming skepticism is opposition to the global warming hypothesis.Sceptics thus find getting a hearing for their views difficult, especially in Western media such as newspapers, magazines and television.This belief has been promoted widely in conservative news media and by a small number of scientists
Edited sentence: An opponent is someone who has already decided against the concept, while a skeptic has not decided.Global warming skepticism is when the facts about the global warming hypothesis are studied instead of accepting statements about global warming as being factual.Often an appeal to authority is added to such an argument.Some critics of this scepticism, particularly environmentalists, dismiss it entirely, based on an ad hominem circumstantial attack based on reported relationships between a critic and an organization believed to be against the global warming theory.Sometimes skeptics or opponents to global warming are said to be a small number of scientists.Sometimes this belief is ascribed to a "conservative news media" by a researcher or someone who is using a guilt by association logic fallacy.This also implies that "conservative news media" is different from other news media.This is an appeal to popularity fallacy, as if popularity implies truth.This often involves a package deal fallacy of a group which does not absolutely endorse a global warming concept.This sometimes is represented as opposition to the global warming hypothesis rather than witholding judgement.When used as an attack, this implies that there is something wrong with conservative concepts
