The climate, then, is what is chosen to measure and what can be chosen is anything including everything.
Now if you make a living ridiculing others for points they make in a dialog with others on the internet you will look for easy marks. You yourself are not at that point being public ally picked apart. Your job is to do a hatchet job to feed the filthy contempt of political partisans, in this case liberals for, here, mainly Peterson the lobster man.
I mean, come on, climate is everything? How absurd can you be and especially if you discount what climate actually is. Let’s never consider that the study of climate can include every condition under the sun but we all, in our stupid need to shame the bad people, know what we really mean. We mean a small minded number of things.
What we need to do then is watch these learned character assassins in an interview with others explain their own world views, provided they have any world view at all rather than making a buck and getting ego flattering attention, and then anybody with an ounce of wit can tear them apart with equal facility.
There is quit a difference, I would say in explaining a deeply reasoned intellectual structure erected in the mind of the creator over countless years of struggle and some asshole who has time to view a spontaneous explanation of it in an interview and pick it apart. But all manner of imbeciles won't notice the difference because like monkeys they have been trained to grind their organ.
Because Peterson focuses on the hideous side of the brain defect of the left his entire world view must be discarded. No charity or application of diligence in reading allowed.
As I see it Peterson fears the unhinged moral disregard for traditional values that exists on the left, and the historical disasters associated where that manifests in policy leads him to want to put the breaks on anything the left proposed. In my opinion, also, he has got, as a consequence, climate change all wrong.
Since climate can mean anything yes but if we take it to mean that human activity is creating conditions known to cause a greenhouse effect then the scientific data that proves that a greenhouse effect is possible and that human activity is causing that to happen, then the answer if to act to stop further effects and to seek ways to mitigate the changes already in effect.
There is always a danger when we say the end is near, but if the end is near and we deny it, that is a problem too. Let us hope that a sane scientific community will find a balance in solving the issue, but so far, in my opinion, real action is long overdue.
