lukewarmer
 n.— «I make no claim (or suggestion) that greenhouse warming isn’t the driver behind global warming over the last three decades. I simply don’t know. (Also, I am a “lukewarmer” who thinks that the world is warmer than it would otherwise be due to anthropogenic gases (but doubts that the impact will be extreme).» —“Curiosities: Mixed Signals in Land and Ocean Temps” by David Smith Watts Up With That? Apr. 14, 2008.
