Morphology

warmist = warm (semi-transparent) = warm + ist

Formed by 'warm' + '-ist' to denote an adherent; the link is partly clear but relies on understanding 'warm' as shorthand for 'global warming' and on recognizing the slang/political coinage.

Etymology

The word warmist is made from warm plus the ending -ist, the same ending you see in artist, and it means 'a person who does or believes something'. So a warmist is someone who believes the world is getting warmer and often supports action to reduce that warming.
