Jordan Peterson

[fjlip]

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.

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.

When the climate troll pops up, time to put him back in the hole for a few days;

As usual Jazz posts climate change denial bullshit with no references or link probably from another climate change denial site.

This from from the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre

Daily extent of Arctic sea ice for December 2022 remained well below average for the entire month; at the end of the month, extent stood at fourth lowest in the satellite record. The average extent for the month ended up as seventh lowest in the satellite record.

Thanks chuck, please post the ice data from the past 1000 yrs.

50,000 yrs ago it was 2miles thick over Sask. What happened. Did all those hunter gatherers with their gas cars melt it.

Science denier.

You have no clue what you are doing.

Old adage the devil can cite scripture for his benefit. I find it odd how weather data pre 1981 disappeared from environment Canada websites. A decade or maybe longer back environment Canada data went back as far as there was data collection in that area. No way I am denying the climate is changing I just doubt falling on my sword benefits me nor my future generations. We’ve argued about this to no end. Still Glenn needs to have the last word. American Bandstand Chuck edition.

Jazz if you are going to post bullshit from unknown climate change denial social media sites that can't be backed up with even a link or a reference from a real climate scientist and their organizations, then nobody is going to take you seriously.

I post links to research of credible world class scientific organizations and most of you climate change skeptics and deniers post social media crap and personal opinions that can't be backed up! Pathetic and lame! Give up!

You mean like Al Gore, who said that snow would be gone by this yr and the polar ice caps melted. Ya such a scientist.

Or the scientist that predicated the Statue of Liberty underwater.

What about fruit fly boy, or the King of Depop Bill Gates, or autistic teenager Greta. What are their credentials.
