Jordan Peterson has declared that, in his professional opinion, climate
doomsayers “are possessed by an ideology much more akin to a psychogenic
epidemic than they are purveyors of any information remotely
scientific”. Writing in the Telegraph, the renowned psychologist
suggests climate alarmism is something more like an ideological or
religious movement than a scientific one. Here’s an excerpt.
In
2023, I was sentenced in Canada by the Ontario College of Psychologists
and Behavioural Analysts to an unspecified period of professional
‘re-education’ for what has been deemed my unprofessional conduct. If I
refused to comply, then the college indicated its duty to revoke my
professional licence as a clinical psychologist.
I said that I
would comply, although insisting – despite the college’s entreaty – that
I would make every detail of that re-education painfully public.
Part
of my unprofessionalism was apparently illustrated in the submission of
the entire transcript by a random complainant to said college of a
conversation I had with Joe Rogan on his podcast, accompanied by the
allegation that I had stepped out of my lane as a psychologist.
How?
By daring to share my opinion that the economic models purporting to
indicate catastrophic future danger caused by the apparently impending
climate change apocalypse were false and unreliable and by implying
something that requires the further analysis this column offers: that
there are non-scientific, indeed psychological, reasons that such models
were and are generated and promoted in the first place.
The
complainant had never received any professional services from me, let it
be noted. Furthermore, the ‘re-education’ has never been scheduled,
despite my agreement to submit to the process, and their publicly stated
decision to proceed, because the college appears unable to find anyone
at all anywhere willing to act as said re-educator.
Why am I
telling you this? First, because the anecdote provides evidence for the
genuine social and psychological danger in speaking out against the
pretensions of the mad green mob; and second, because the claims that
climate change terror is scientifically justified have to be enforced by
entrenched propagandistic bureaucratic inquisitors rather than proved
scientifically and assessed through genuine discussion in the public
arena.
And with that, on to the real show....<<<Read More>>>...
