The BC Conservative leader discussed his distrust of climate science and other topics with the viral right-wing personality.
Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad’s distrust of accepted climate science was on full display during an almost two-hour interview with Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychology professor who rocketed to fame several years ago with his YouTube discussions of right-wing culture war topics.
In the interview, Rustad and Peterson delve into their shared skepticism of climate science and talk about the idea that accumulated carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is actually good for the planet. It’s the opposite conclusion from accepted climate science that finds human-caused CO2 emissions are causing the Earth’s temperature to rise, leading to consequences including increases in the frequency and severity of droughts, wildfires, flooding and storms.
“It’s a sad reality, but how is it that we’ve convinced carbon-based beings that carbon is a problem?” Rustad says at one point.

I am confused which one is the fascist and which one is the nazi?
Why do they put any stock into what a psychologist has to say about climate science? He’s not remotely qualified to speak on the topic.
Having read one of his books, he’s not qualified to speak on the topic of psychology.
Two clowns. They don’t care what will happen they will be dead by the time the worst comes.
John Rustad is talking about BC running out of farmland when more housing is built while he ironically speaks to a carnivore.
Unironically?
That describes it better!
