They could accurately claim that man-made causes of global warming is a myth but the earth is warming and sea levels are rising but to say there is no global warming just doesn't make any sense...
I'm not sure the deniers were the ones that advocated that global warming as a myth. I remember hearing the arguments that human-caused CO2 emissions were irrelevant relative to the rest of the sources of CO2, and that rising temperatures might be good, as far back as the mid-90s when Larry Burkett was talking about it. I suspect the "climate change denier" was just a shorthand that got a lot of media play. Now that's all muddied by people who think they are supposed to believe whatever because it was on TV, but I don't think the leadership has changed much. If nothing else, the whole thing is an object lesson in being careful to frame your position from the outset. For example, rather than "a vermin-infested wreck rusting away," I prefer to think of the 300D as a "pre-restoration example of mid-twentieth century engineering."
