Spotify declined to comment on the criticism. Including the physics of electromagnetism that allowed Peterson and Rogan to record and broadcast this silly and absurd conversation.” “Every great discovery in science has arisen this way. “Such an absurd argument leads to a dismissal of physics, chemistry, biology, and every other field of science where one formulates (and tests-that’s the critical part Peterson seems to fail to understand) conceptual models that attempt to simplify the system and distill the key components and their interactions,” Mann said. Mann said that Peterson’s claims were “nonsensical and false,” and seems to boil down to the idea that climate science is so complicated that scientists could never model it or understand it. So the promotion of misinformation about climate change is in some ways even more dangerous.” Even more will perish from extremely dangerous and deadly weather extremes if we fail to act on the climate crisis. “Similar anti-science spread by these two individuals about COVID-19 likely has and will continue to lead to fatalities. Humans do a poor job of calculating risk. (Tamir Kalifa/The New York Times) Tamir Kalifa/The New York Times/Redux They've been without power since early Monday morning. Mann, a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, told CNN.Įric Traugott warms up his young son, Eric Traugott Jr., beside a fire, made from a discarded wooden armoire outside of their apartment in Austin, Texas, that remains without power on Feb. “Such seemingly-comic nihilism would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous,” Michael E. Scientists use models, or simulations, to project particular aspects of climate change, such as the rise in global temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns and the likelihood of drought.Ĭlimate scientists are now ridiculing Peterson’s claims. Peterson’s remarks show a general misunderstanding of how scientific modeling works. Rogan, whose podcast is hosted on Spotify, did little to challenge the unsubstantiated comments. But how did you decide which set of variables to include in the equation if it’s about everything?” So that means you’ve reduced the variables – which are everything – to that set. Your models are based on a set number of variables. “But your models aren’t based on everything. In waffling remarks, Peterson said that “there’s no such thing as climate, right?” He then went on to mock “climate types,” who he said typically suggest that “climate is about everything.” Spotify says it will remove Neil Young's music, according to reports (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images) Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - OCTOBER 25: Neil Young performs during the 29th Annual Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Amphitheatre on Octoin Mountain View, California.
