Is Climate the New God? Jordan Peterson, Atheism, and the Role of Climate Consciousness

Discover tonight's deep dive into a highly controversial topic. We'll explore how Jordan Peterson is being criticized on Cody’s Show, especially with regard to his views on climate and its implications. Watch as we decode Peterson's nuanced stance, which Cody labels as "purposefully obtuse".

Peterson is put in the spotlight for his statement, "There's no such thing as climate". Yet, technically, Peterson is correct. Climate is a concept representing long-term weather patterns and averages over a period of 30 years or more, including variables like temperature, precipitation, wind, and more. It is an abstraction, not a physical object that can be pointed at and labeled 'climate'. This round, we argue, is won by Peterson.

In a broader context, Peterson claims that for many staunch climate change advocates, 'climate is everything'. While Cody simplistically interprets this statement, Peterson's viewpoint encapsulates a deeper meaning. 'Everything' here signifies the most crucial aspect or matter. For many individuals concerned with climate change, the issue indeed becomes 'everything' due to its potential global impact, the existential risk it poses, threats to food and water security, implications for human health, economic costs, biodiversity loss, and the irreversible effect on future generations.

Peterson also intriguingly points toward a societal shift: the replacement of religion with climate consciousness, where 'climate' takes on the role of God in the face of rising atheism.

Finally, we delve into how Andrew Tate’s views relate to this ongoing discourse.
