Peterson has some good points and some bad points. He tends to fall apart talking about areas outside of his expertise and trying to play to conservative talking points when he self-confesses to not being a republican. This happens when he talks about climate change or religion. He tries to attack it with the same level of argument, but he lacks the expertise or doesn't have the science to back up theologic claims, so he goes off-kilter, and he falls apart straining to make an argument that sounds as rational and grounded in truth.
Oil is finite, so moving to renewables is necessary. Climate change, pollution, destroying habitats, killing off species, over-fishing, etc...these aren't made up. These are real issues that humans are causing or greatly accelerating. I read today that the US is recycling like 5% of plastic. The world seems to be going to shit real fast and all one side wants to do is put their head in the sand and be bitter about sacrificing the ability to coal roll on people. I just don't get it.

On a side note: I've never cared for him reading his own essays. It just doesn't flow.
