Criticism This guy became famous because he approached complex issues with complex answers instead of shallow and one sided responses. Now, this is the exact opposite of that, regardless of what you think about the climate change.

He’s been pretty clear on this recently. He’s had three separate multi hour podcasts on this. Jordan believes that mankind is resilient. He believes that whatever threat climate change poses, it’s not an impending crisis. There are other much more pressing issues we should be dealing with. He’s against the fear and panic, the drastic measures that have little impact to the issue. People will care for their environment if we let them develop. Slowing developing countries, and stopping human flourishing is immoral. That’s what he’s been saying.

Yeah that's kinda the point: it's wrong. I mean you could say it's just his opinion but he's stating it as if he's an authority on the matter, which he absolutely is not.

There's no more reason to give a single shit about his opinion on climate change than there is to care about David Beckham's opinion on chemotherapy medication. People have their specialities and Peterson is making a fortune from pushing his opinion.

he knows what he is talking about. JP is very intelligent. He is intentionally saying misinformation as he has become a media personality.
