I think most, when referring to "climate change denier" mean to say "anthropogenic climate change denier". Most people who are "climate change denier"s in the above sense do actually believe in climate change in general just not the fact that we have influenced it.

You'd be surprised the amount of people who very seriously say "Global warming isn't real! There's snow outside!".
This is why there's been a push towards the "climate change" wording in the first place.

That's because, in a mistaken campaign to get people motivated, AGW activists say "See how hot it is today? Global warming is the reason!" Remember how the northern ice cap was supposed to be gone by 2013? Polar bears extinct?
If you don't want people on the other side to make arguments based on today's weather, you have to call out the people doing it on your side.
