‘Word salad of nonsense’: scientists denounce Jordan Peterson’s comments on climate models

Perhaps johnlarue can translate it into pseudo science for the good of us all here.

Prof Michael Mann, an atmospheric scientist at Penn State University, said Peterson’s comments – and Rogan’s facilitation of them – was an “almost comedic type of nihilism” that would be funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.
Peterson’s claim that the climate was too complicated showed “a total lack of understanding of how science works” and could be used to dismiss physics, chemistry, biology, “and every other field of science where one formulates conceptual models”, according to Mann.
“Every great discovery in science – including the physics that allowed Peterson and Rogan to record and broadcast their ridiculous conversation – has arisen through that process,” he said.


Prof John Abraham, a climate scientist at the University of St Thomas in Minnesota, said the episode was “a word salad of nonsense spoken by people who have no sense when it comes to climate.”
“To say that climate model errors increase like compound interest is laughable. Jordan Peterson displays a near complete misunderstanding of climate change, and the tools climate scientists use to understand what is happening to our planet.
“It’s as if someone, with zero expertise and knowledge, made comments about something he knows little about.”


Earlier this month 270 experts wrote to Spotify demanding it establish “a clear and public policy to moderate misinformation on its platform” after raising concerns about pandemic misinformation on a different episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
“Mass-misinformation events of this scale have extraordinarily dangerous ramifications,” the experts wrote, saying the podcast had an estimate 11 million listeners.


Prof Steve Sherwood, of the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, said Peterson was “making the ancient climate sceptic error of mixing up weather and climate”.
“Anyone who has taken an introductory course in climate or atmospheric science would spot this problem,” he said. “Errors in a weather forecast indeed accumulate such that after a couple of weeks the forecast is useless.”

What a pair of fucking jackasses!

Do you think the right thing for oil companies to do is to admit guilt?
I do think it is a smart thing to do to admit climate change or at least
not to deny it.

Its the moral thing, but then so is agreeing to pay for the damage you've caused and stopping disinformation.

Seth the unfunny comedian, now that IS a joke!...

I mock climate scientists, their models are as accurate as Astrology. And they are mocking an entertainer who does podcasts? Losers all of them.

That's the exact same thing that the scientists in the article, the people with the most expertise in the world, said about Petersen.

People should not confuse climate modelling with weather forecasting.

 

[oil&gas]

Wonder if such eminent climate scientists as Michael Mann could
suggest viable climate change solutions, political, scientific or
economic, for climate activists to work on. Our leaders, I mean
the likes of self-proclaimed climate-change believers such as
Biden and Trudeau, won't have excuse anymore to continue growing
emission when they see Prof Mann and David Suzuki marching at the
forefront with the climate sheeple in the next global climate strike.

with the climate sheeple.

It's one thing to identify and define a problem, but it does not mean that coming up with a solution to such a complex issue is so easy.

You "mock" climate change scientists?

Why?.... Because you're smarter and better informed?

[ottawa_cuck]

Because their predictions are wrong?
Do you ever go outside? It’s a beautiful world. Stop hating your life. Stop trying to control others with a fake crisis.

Climate is everything
Jordan Peterson is an expert on everything
Bow ties are not to be feared
Greta should make her bed

The Nobel was given out a year or two for an economist showing that carbon taxes are the best way to fight climate change.
Its not up to climatologists to come up with the solution, its up to big oil to pay for it and economists and politicians to enact it.

Because their predictions are wrong?

Serious question for you. It is not a trick question.

How far in advance do they make their predictions?

 

[ottawa_cuck]

They make more predictions than Nostradamus with less accuracy. 50, 100, 500 years, its all clickbait panic porn. They start with a conclusion and find “evidence” for it. They’re not making up numbers, they’re lying by omitting that their model will never happen in reality.

I tuned out climate change when they said the sea level will rise a meter in 50 years. And that we would lose coastline and people displaced and ……Yawn

Its so shoddy that they won a Nobel for their work.
