  1. Did Peterson pronounce Holodomor as “Holomodor” while chastising the listener for a lack of Ukraine knowledge again? Classic Peterson.

      1. I’m guessing you completely missed the point. He shows his own ignorance while chastising the audience for theirs.

        Meanwhile he is the one that is ignorant of the history of Ukraine.

    1. If you’re looking to buy me a present go right ahead. It’ll look nice next to the coffee maker.

  2. Jordan is correct and you are dizzy with misinformation.
    Climate models are abstractions that do not reflect reality.

    1. “This computer model I created says the world will end unless you give me trillions of dollars and unlimited power.”

      1. Dizzy.
        Are you Progressive Pat in stealth mode?
        Or are you really as stupid as you come across as?
        Loved the cartoon.
        A perfect depiction of human gullibility.
        Perhaps you could,if you believe what you write, look up “Methods of measurement”.
        But unless you are just faking being a troll,such info will remain outside your comprehension.
        If the former,then well played indeed.

          1. So Troll it is.
            What is the error band for NASA’s claim?
            Estimations accurate to 0.001 C..Are you really this dumb?
            How were temperatures measured 140 years ago?
            At what locations?
            And how are they measured today?

  3. John Robertson // How were temperatures measured 140 years ago?
    At what locations?
    And how are they measured today? //

    An insult followed by posers that can’t be meant seriously.
    Try this for part of it:
    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-of-natural-history/2018/03/23/heres-how-scientists-reconstruct-earths-past-climates/

    Actually, the story of how scientist developed world temperature measurements
    is fascinating:
    e.g. How station temperatures can estimate earth system temps & changes.
    Global Trends of Measured Surface Air Temperature
    SERGEJ LEBEDEFF & JAMES HANSEN
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 92, NO. Dll, PAGES 13,345-13,372, NOVEMBER 20, 1987
    & a 1999 update:
    GISS analysis of surface temperature change
    J. Hansen, R. Ruedy, J. Glascoe, and M. Sato
    NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York
    Abstract. We describe the current GISS analysis of surface temperature change for the period 1880-
    1999 based primarily on meteorological station measurements…

    But you have missed or ignored the original significance of the tweet by Peterson.
    He made the statement “Earth has warmed one degree Celsius in the last 140 years”
    True enough, but as the chart supplied shows, Earth has warmed MORE than one
    degree in the last SIXTY years.
    So his statement is factually true, but in a context meant to lead the naive to dismiss the importance of the change.
    ‘A truth that’s told with bad intent / Beats all the lies you can invent.” Blake

    1. James Hanson? No mention of Michael Mann made global warming? A couple of communists in waiting.

      Try Richard Lindzen or Judith Curry for rational assessments of the Mann made global warming. Not a couple of watermelon activists.
