The climate cult?

 





Prominent YouTube Skeptic (TM) and Atheist (TM) "Planet Peterson" is skeptical of climate alarmism and learns very quickly that some skepticism is seriously off limits in the Skeptical community...

I happen to believe that climate change *is* an "existential crisis" (although I suppose that depends on how you define those loaded terms), so presumably I should hate on Mr Planet, too. But naah. I admit that my sick sense of humor (maybe too sick?) finds the moralistic, cultish and pearl-clutching reactions of Peterson´s (former) fanboys extremely entertaining. Dude bros, you *fucking won´t survive* the crisis if you have performative meltdowns in a YouTube commentary section!

This little affair proves another point: that atheists don´t *really* believe that atheism is "merely a lack of belief in God or gods" or that it isn´t a "core identity". So why does the atheist non-community expect Planet Peterson do be very specifically an Al Gore-esque pseudo-Green liberal? Exaaaactly.

Not sure how interesting the above really is (I haven´t watched all of it either), but in case you have absolutely nothing to do on a dark summer evening, well...
