what sort of person listens to a podcast about climate science in which neither participants have climate science quals? And what sort of misinformation will listeners be subject to?
these sort of questions have been ticking over knowing that more than 4 million have listened on You Tube and elsewhere to program #2309 of the Joe Rogan Experience in which the host interviews former Canadian university psych professor Jordan Peterson, now aking of the Incels, a troubled youth group uneducated in personal responsibility.
more than 900k have heard extracts on X twitter, according to Science Feedback.org.
i suspect listeners of the podcast could align with climate denial posters on HC: special people carrying the heavy burden of special knowledge that the world's science establishment hasn't seen.
climate deniers love their pseudoscience and misinformation, can't get enough of it and somehow believe their opinion garnered from polemical videos on YouTube, biased legacy media such as Lachlan Murdoch's Limited News publications, Sky in the dark, Fox news, and of course non climate scientists, is of greater weight and value than the highly qualified experts in the field.
when one's beliefs such as dnier's pseudoscience doesn't accord with objective verifiable data and evidence this is usually known as delusion, except in climate wcience where the Muppets of Denial regard themselves as powerful independent thinkers.
its a mix full of swingin dick egos unencumbered by too many facts who know just a little to be dangerous to themselves and society. Because They Said So rules.
Science Feedback, which has access to the world's top scientists across all disciplines, has taken the time to look at some of the orthodox misleading claims aired in #2309.
claim 2 and the response is set out below. Note the wishy washy words of Peterson and the information dense precision in Science Feedback's response.. claims 3 and 4 will be posted on this thread in coming days.
