This week, bestselling author Jordan Peterson went on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to claim that climate scientists don’t know what they’re talking about.

Rude? Ignorant? Yes. Of course.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and I have an idea why.

Here’s The Video

Peterson “first made a name for himself by opposing a law that would protect transgender Canadians from discrimination,” according to Brynn Tannehill in Dame Magazine, and “has become something of an idol among incels and the alt-right.”

So, he has opinions about whether climate scientists know what they’re talking about. Great.

You can see the terrible video here. Peterson alleged: “There’s no such thing as climate, right? ‘Climate’ and ‘everything’ are the same word.” Because: “Climate is about everything, OK?”
