This video must have literally been uploading as I typed out this morning’s post on pseudo-scientist and imposter Jordan Peterson’s pathetic forays in to climate denial.
The video is first class debunking. I did basically the same thing some 10 years ago, but looks like the BBC or somebody had a copyright claim on that piece, so nice to see someone redoing it.
A few weeks ago, one of my climate denying buddies sent me a link to a YouTube video where Jordan Peterson was interviewing denier scientist, Richard Lindzen. I sent a note directly to Jordan Peterson who (big surprise) never responded.
Anyway here’s a link about Lindzen:

Anyone who thinks Greenland encompasses the whole of Earth’s temperature, probably thinks the whole of ‘human habitation’ can be encompassed by an igloo.
This is just sickening — Peterson appears to be on a mad-cap adventure in misinformation, driven by the worship of his fans. What is it with trolls like this? Is it the power of having other people believe what they tell them? Is it an idiotic confidence in whatever thoughts pop into their own minds? It’s certainly some kind of psychological malfunction, both on his part and on the part of his fans (perhaps they are desperately looking for confirmation that they’re fine and whatever troubles them is someone else’s fault…)
I think it’s money. Maybe not immediate, but on understanding.
