Jordan Peterson

So we know how everyone stands on Carpay and Thuneberg.
How does everyone feel about the Ontario College of Psychologists calling Peterson in for re-education??
Anything from the three blind mice?

[TSIPP]

If he goes for the re- education he will come back twice as bad but in reality it would be twice as good, not so good for the blind mice, just good for 99% of the population.

Apparently one isn’t allowed to criticize Trudeau or support pollievre publicly.

Unreal.

Peterson doesnt practice clinical psychology anymore. He is a speaker, blogger and author now and making big bucks. I doubt he is going back to teaching or practice.

let the license expire. Who cares. Hammering sock tard daily is much more important.

[blackpowder]

Although much of his message is understandable and sometimes agreeable to me, I am able to critically think and take it for what it's worth.
He is an influencer, and of a population who generally hangs on catch phrases.
He should no longer be able to ride on his credentials. Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz I believe no longer have licenses.
The College did not do itself a favor using the term re-education.

Peterson is the darling of the Conservative right and a professional antiscience climate change denier and bullshitter.

On climate modeling he says the models are not accurate. Wrong!

Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, tweeted graph showing how accurate scientists’ projections of global warming have been over several decades.

“For what it’s worth, we have been projecting future warming since the first climate models in the late 1960s/early 1970s. We can look back to see how well they have performed. It turns out our models generally did a good job,” he wrote.

Polar bear population is so high the natives and scientists are considering what to do to lower the numbers. Too many polar bears. That’s what they predicted, right? LOL.

[Sheepwheat]

Anyway chuck, back on topic. How dare anyone criticize the Blackface groper, huh?

Canada's Hudson Bay polar bear population plummets as climate change warms Arctic

TORONTO, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Canada's Western Hudson Bay polar bear population has fallen 27% in just five years, according to a government report released this week, suggesting climate change is impacting the animals.

Every autumn, the bears living along the western edge of the Bay pass through the sub-Arctic tourist town of Churchill, Manitoba, as they return to the sea ice. This has made the population not only the best studied group in the world, but also the most famous, with the local bear-viewing economy valued at C$7.2 million ($5.30 million) annually.

However, the Government of Nunavut's assessment finds that just 618 bears remained in 2021 - a roughly 50% drop from the 1980s.

"In some ways, it's totally shocking," said John Whiteman, chief research scientist at conservation non-profit Polar Bears International. "What's really sobering is that these kinds of declines are the kind that unless sea ice loss is halted, are predicted to eventually cause ... extinction."

Polar bears depend on the sea ice to hunt, staking out over seal breathing holes. But the Arctic is now warming about four times faster than the rest of the world. Around Hudson Bay, seasonal sea ice is melting out earlier in the spring, and forming later in the fall, forcing bears to go for longer without food.

Scientists cautioned a direct link between the population decline and sea ice loss in Hudson Bay wasn't yet clear, as four of the past five years have seen moderately good ice conditions. Instead, they said, climate-caused changes in the local seal population might be driving bear numbers down.

And while it's possible some bears may have moved, "the number of adult male bears has remained more or less the same. What's driven the decline is a reduced number of juvenile bears and adult females," said Stephen Atkinson, an independent wildlife biologist who led the research on behalf of the government.

This change in demographics doesn't fit with the idea that bears are moving out of western Hudson Bay, he added.

"There was a very low number of cubs being produced in 2021," said Andrew Derocher, who leads the Polar Bear Science Lab at the University of Alberta. "We're looking at a slowly aging population and when you do get bad (ice) years, older bears are much more vulnerable to increased mortality."

Also of concern to scientists, the report suggests declines have sped up. Between 2011 and 2016, the population only dropped 11%.

There are 19 populations of polar bears spread out between Russia, Alaska, Norway, Greenland and Canada. But Western Hudson Bay is among the southernmost locales, and scientists project the bears here are likely to be among the first to disappear.

A 2021 study in the journal Nature Climate Change found most of the world's polar bear populations are on track to collapse by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions aren't heavily curbed.

All within the margin of error.

Now go back a few 1000 years before 1970 one of the COLDEST, when the "experts" all said ICE AGE!

Funny how this topic was derailed by Segwaying from a discussion about an intellectual getting silenced by the establishment to a rant about climate change. Good work Glenn your handlers will be proud.

Back on topic Peterson is alright in my mind. He’s inhabited both sides of the political spectrum throughout his career. He’s friendly with Rachel Notley and her mother is who was the librarian at his school whom stoked his interest in reading. He’s out to sell his books and speaking engagements so he definitely sensationalizes things. He inhabits a space in the intellectual realms not highly populated and in the minds of conservatives he is their intellectual. I understand he draws the ire of the establishment and folks like Glenn. Intellectuals and scientists are not supposed to speak out like that. Have to keep the ranks tight or imagine the turmoil. Even STEM is as entrenched and quite frankly starting to impede progress. I get it if Peterson in censured by his peers if he overstepped his ethical boundaries but beyond that it’s just the establishment shutting down a dissenter.
