You didn't know what it was until he brought it up.

He still doesn't know what it is, else he wouldn't have mentioned it in the context of denying anthropogenic climate change.
Of course I knew about the Medieval Warm Period, it's on that timeline chart in post #5. With the note, "Too regional to affect global average much."

You mean the climate change that resulted in the ice age which occurred after the hot/humid prehistoric era? Or the climate change that caused the extinction of the woolly mammoth and saber toothed cats?
That kind of anthropogenic climate change? You know, the ones which happened pre-industrial revolution...

There existing instances of anthropogenic climate change does not preclude the possibility of instances of climate change having predominantly non-anthropogenic causes.
It's like you're trying to be an idiot, or something.
But the temperature rise that has been happening since the invention of the steam engine is without precedent in the history and prehistory of the planet. All the scientists agree on that.
See post #5, and really study it this time.

Which given human civilization predated the industrial revolution makes perfect sense.

So, Occam's Razor isn't a thing in Lefty circles anymore?
The simplest explanation is man made climate change....duh.......
Not even you can possibly take seriously a site that bills itself as "The Conservative Alternative to the Drudge Report."
That's like "The Communist Alternative to the Daily Worker."

Lol. Seriously. It is like they have to seek out the most obscure sources of "news" that line up with their insane views.

There is nothing serious about "climate change." As pointed out in the above video it's a laundry list of political objectives that have nothing to do with science.
Jordan Peterson:
Jordan Bernt Peterson (1962–) is a Canadian quack and (perhaps soon-to-be failed) clinical psychologist, a retired[5] University of Toronto psychology professor, and Ultracrepidarian par excellence.[6] He has falsely claimed to be both an evolutionary biologist[note 1] and a neuroscientist[note 2] but he is neither. He has been regarded as a member of the informal Intellectual Dark Web, which has been described as a gateway into the alt-right.[10]
In 2022, Peterson sued the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which regulates clinical psychologists. The College had attempted to discipline Peterson for failing to speak in a professional manner befitting that of a clinical psychologist, which included not using hate speech in public. The College ordered Peterson to complete a "specified continuing education or remedial program" (SCERP) to maintain his membership in the College and his ability to practice clinical psychology. For this, Peterson had claimed that the College was violating his freedom of expression under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Peterson had also tried to have it both ways, claiming that psychological advice was professional speech but that the speech that the College found offensive and unprofessional was his private speech ("off duty"). A three-judge panel ruled unanimously in 2023 that the College had the right to regulate its profession and require him to take the SCERP to maintain his license. The panel ruled that Peterson still had freedom of expression but that if he wanted to maintain his license, the College had the right to require him to moderate his expression to comport with their regulations so as to maintain his license. The panel also ruled that there was no separation between he psychological advice and his offensive speech, that he was doing both under the argument from authority his time on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he introduced himself as a clinical psychologist. In essence, Peterson lost the case.[11]
Peterson has authored or coauthored more than 90 peer-reviewed articles on clinical psychology, social psychology, and personality theory.[note 3] However, Peterson is mostly known for his conservative views on religion, trans issues, and feminism, and for his incel- and MGTOW-heavy audience.[14] Although Peterson frequently makes morally questionable claims and engages in pseudoscience, his statements are notoriously incoherent, ambiguous, and jargon-laden, sometimes rising above vacuousness[14] to the level of deepity,[15] which allows him to handwave criticism as mere misrepresentations of his babbling bullshit.[14][note 4] This is ironic, as he criticises post-modernists for basically doing the same thing.
Anything Jordan Peterson says outside the field of psychology, and probably anything within it, should be dismissed with contempt -- see above.
And whose political objectives would those be? What non-environmentalist agenda would be served, and how, by controls on greenhouse gas emissions?
It has EVERYTHING to do with science. Just because you are not educated (probably flunked 8th grade science, come to think of it) does not mean that science- (and scientific findings by people far, far more educated than you,) isn't real. I don't mean to sound insulting, but this kind of post is insulting to the intelligence of the average person.
I have no idea why you think it's "political" or why you have such a hard time accepting it. It's NOT! It's like you WANT to see climate destruction (DO you?) or think just because it might impact the oil industry it's some kind of political movement (ARE you employed by the oil/gas industry by chance? Like everything else you post, I suspect you wouldn't be honest about it even if you were.)
Also Jordan Peterson:
Peterson retweeted global warming deniers including Anthony Watts,[169][170][171] Bjorn Lomborg,[172] Richard Lindzen,[173] and the Daily Mail.[174] Peterson claims that his retweets aren't endorsements, but it is irresponsible for him to share climate change denial links without critical examination or without critical commentary (climate change denial is complete rank pseudoscience), especially when his conservative audience is highly receptive to climate change denial. Even if his retweets aren't necessarily promoting pseudoscience, Peterson's regular tweets downplay global warming, consistent with his retweets. For example, one of his tweets links to a blog called "NoTricksZone" (a reference to the "trick" word in Climategate): "So it turns out that it was scientists who were sensitive to atmospheric CO2 level increases?"[175] On occasion, he supports the "global cooling"[171][176] as well as the "carbon-dioxide-is-good-for-plants" talking points.[166] This kind of self-contradicting vagueness that results from his denying that retweets are endorsements yet the regular tweeting's suggesting endorsements is another example of the obtuse manner Peterson presents his views.

You're full of shit. All of the science has been lost in the politics.

A fucking dinosaur among dinosaurs. You realize everyone understands the earth is warming right?
See post #165. What politics?
Because any conceivable solution would require vigorous government action and hurt the profits of several major industries. To some, that is ideologically unacceptable. That's the only way in which non-environmentalist politics enter into it.
Well, of course, there is also the religious position that humans have no power to make any serious change to God's creation. Which is nonsense. That is what humans do -- it is the specialty of our species. We take the world as we find it, and we change it. We have been doing that ever since somebody figured out you can change the shape of a rock by hitting it with another rock.

You're arguing with someone who thinks you're me and that nearly every account on Lit other than his own is my Alt.
The guy's brain is broken.
