He started out as a climate science denier.
He once worked as an advisor to a politician/businessman who commented in a climate science report for the UN, So he's an expert (self-titled) on the subject. The actual report does disagree with his bullshit, but knowing that requires you to be the sort of person who looks things up and not blindly trust Jordan Peterson, so no one in his target audience.
This very short video takes a look at some of Peterson's claims and actually starts off with the climate nonsense.
He's so far ~~up his own ass~~ down the philosophy rabbit hole that he thinks climate science is a matter of philosophy...?
Gotta collect all the bad ideas.
He's Albertan. Of course he is.
Doesn't this fuckwit have a talk show to cry on?
He's completely unqualified to talk on that subject matter. By that logic, I'm confident in my (completely unqualified) diagnosis of him as someone with an inferiority complex and significant mommy issues.
He's just a grifter who is marginally smarter than the people he defrauds.
Mommy issues are spot on though; you may be overqualified to diagnose that TBH.
Difference being, you are far more likely to be correct

Another glorious POS!
Regardless of side, neither will get what they say then want unless they follow through with complete genocide. Chaos reigns supreme, accept the chaos and lose the need to fight. That's faith.
That's my random thought of the day.
Reading this gave me a stroke.
Why?
Because what you wrote is unintelligible.
You wrote this (my comments are in the parenthesis)
Regardless of side, (whom are you reffering to?) neither will get what they say then want (huh!?) unless they follow through with complete genocide (hold-up...do you think you're responding to a post about israel/palastine? This is about J.P and climate change). Chaos reigns supreme, accept the chaos and lose the need to fight. That's faith. (This sounds like something out of a fortune cookie, and also has nothing to do with anything else that you wrote)
Originally it said except the chaos, making it even less intelligible.
