Their broadcast received a lot of attention, singer Neil Young boycotting the world’s top podcast server Spotify to transport that material.
Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan Talk About How Climate Change Will Make Your Brain Disappear
The big boys had a big think about climate change.

…
Rogan and Peterson learned about the climate in a good 30 minutes at the start of more than four (!) episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, released on Tuesday. I listened to the whole thing and it made me want to set myself on fire. I’ll spare you all the bulk of the exchange because I want you to continue to exist in a less burnt state, but I feel obligated to share the dumbest parts here, so you can share my pain.
…
PETERSON: Well, that’s because there’s no such thing as climate. It’s correct? “Climate” and “everything” are the same word, and that is what irks me about climate change types. It’s like, here’s something bothering me about it, technically. It’s like, climate is about everything. Okay. But your model is not based on everything. Your models are based on some set variables. So that means you have reduced the variables, being everything, for that set. How do you decide which set of variables to include in the equation, if it were about everything? It’s not just a criticism, it’s like about everything, Your model is not correct. Because your models do not and cannot model everything.
ROGAN: What do you mean?
PETERSON: That’s what climate apocalypse people claim, in a sense. We have to change everything! It’s like, everything, huh? The same goes for the word environment. That word means so much that it means nothing at all. … What is the difference between environment and everything? There’s no difference.

It becomes more humorous;
‘Sad from nonsense’: scientists denounce Jordan Peterson’s comments on climate models
Speaking on Joe Rogan’s podcast, Peterson claimed the climate was too complex to be accurately simulated, which was quickly shot down by scientists.

Thursday, January 27, 2022 18.05 AEDTLeading climate scientists have mocked and criticized the controversial Canadian psychologist and author’s comments Jordan Peterson in an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
In a new 4-hour interview on Spotify’s most popular podcast, Peterson – who is not an expert on climate change – has stated that models used to forecast climate cannot be relied upon. future climate.
Peterson told Rogan that because the climate is so complex it cannot be modeled accurately.
“Another problem that also makes climate modeling difficult is that as you stretch the models out over time, the errors increase dramatically,” he said. And so maybe you can predict a week or three weeks or a month or a year in advance, but the further you predict, the more flawed your model is.
“And that’s a big problem when you’re trying to model over 100 years because the compounding error is the same as the interest rate.”
Peterson says that if climate is “everything” then “your models don’t fit” because they can’t include everything.
…
GS Michael Mannan atmospheric scientist at Penn State University, says Peterson’s remarks – and Rogan’s support of them – are a “kind of almost comical nihilism,” which would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous.
According to Mann, Peterson’s claim that climate is too complex shows “a complete lack of understanding of how science works” and can be used to dismiss physics, chemistry, biology, ” and every other area of science where conceptual models are formed”.
“Every great discovery in science – including the physics that allowed Peterson and Rogan to record and broadcast their absurd conversation – arose in the process,” he said.
…
Gavin Schmidt panicked;
What upsets the climate community is that between them Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson command a large listening audience.
I didn’t listen full podcastbut it delves into climate prediction, EV issues, and renewables versus nuclear from the start, so it got me hooked.
“Why are leftist types in particular willing to sacrifice the poor”?
The climate community’s overreaction may do more harm to the cause of climate alarmism than the original podcast.
All the publicity-hungry figures on Youtube and TikTok now watching and taking notes know, if you want a massive free public from a wide range of outraged liberal media, All you need to do is shoot some sacred climate cows.
Update (EW): Canceled campaign on – Newly appointed In my opinion, Biden surgeon Vivek Murthy came close to asking Silicon Valley to censor Joe Rogan – he claims that silicon valley has “an important role” in preventing the spread of Covid misinformation, in an interview referring to Joe Rogan.
