Joe Rogan claims study shows Earth cooling – but report’s authors say he’s wrong
Joe Rogan is a dumb person's idea of what a smart person acts like. "I'm just asking questions" is not a good excuse to continuously espouse misinformation and give right-wing nutjobs an international voice.
He's not even just doing that anymore. He's straight-up lying and spreading disinformation. It's intentional.
Saw clip of him fact checking himself on his own show, finding out he was wrong and then choosing to believe his own false claims because he liked them more... Like, spoken aloud that he is going with what he said because he liked it better... Said the words. Definitely intentional.
He does this by citing a study that says it's warming and he reads it wrong. I believe it says the earth is in a cooling period and he stops there. What it says is yes, there is a natural cooling and heating cycle, and we are in the cooling period of that cycle BUT we are heating dispite this period. We are getting hotter faster in the cooling period than we ever know the earth heated naturally.
It's like it's bed time, we are awake and blaming the caffeine but he insists "no we are asleep because I read it's bed time"
Yeah, if you look at a chart it’s plainly obvious the Earth was going to cool. But then we industialized.
Climate Town did a good video on this: https://youtu.be/r1bMJekCiBw
To paraphrase, the graph in question is so zoomed out (to include all earth's history) that it's like asking someone to tell you what colour a specific roof is from a satellite image of an entire country. (If you do zoom in to the relevant parts climate change is obviously happening)
Joe Rogan is clearly functionally illiterate... his success is a raging sign of how low education and critical thinking are amongst Muricans
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
in this case, it's more like "in the land of the blind, the one lying he can see is named king by the rubes"
Joe Rogan for King of America you heard it here first!
Why do people listen to him or believe him? Its like people watching history channel's ancient aliens show and taking it as fact. Its the same quality of information...
I blame the History channel for much of our society's issues. Ever since they stopped playing WW2 documentaries 24/7 and embraced the science fiction we have become more and more 1930s Germany. Without the consent reminder we have been slipping
We all need to cancel Spotify. Paying for Spotify pays Rogan.
I never spotted no fies out on any of the seven seas, matey!
Climate Town explains this well
Part of the problem is that climate change is not uniform across the entire planet, and local weather patterns vary in different places. The other part of the problem is that Joe Rogan is a fucking idiot.
Imagine spending your one blip of existence in this universe being Joe Rogan. Knuckles dragging on the ground your entire life.
I imagined it and frankly it rocks
Dumb as hell and rich as fuck. Sounds divine.
"But if you look at a graph going back millions of years we are actually cooling!" Cool, cool. How about the last few thousand years where the data is actually relevant to human civilization? I don't care if it was hotter 20 million years ago because, believe it or not, I wasn't alive back then. If it was as hot as it was back then we would all be dead of heatstroke because we literally evolved to live in the cooler period that we are now skyrocketing ourselves out of.
He’s another moron with a megaphone
The temperature on Earth is plummeting. Look at the drop at the end, that’s where we are
The 3 hottest years ever (in post industrialized records) will be 2023-2025. By a large margin as well. The hottest years ever are all since 2014.
There was climate denialism after 1998 el nino set a record that was unbeaten for over a decade, but since, el ninos create a new step up in global temperatures.
Joe Rogan has brain damage. Why people listen to him is beyond me. He is so far from the "average" guy it isn't funny.
I remembered Fear Factor a few months ago and felt sad, then old, then sad again.
The amount of damage this asshat has done is only surpassed by the current administration.
Remember, Joe Rogan is the mainstream media.
His CV includes forcing people to eat bugs.
Joe Rogan is Jabroni University.
Renowned scientist Joe Rogan's full of shit? Say it ain't so!
Maybe, just maybe…. We have multiple things going on at once. Climate change, poles shifting, plates shifting… it’s not that hard. You CAN be cooling off and still have a climate change problem.
Weird you got down votes because this is true. You could be cooling in places but warm in others. Still doesn't mean climate change isn't happening. Some places are getting colder because of climate change. Heat melting ice caps and changing the physical makeup of the planet would cause other areas to experience different climates.
Exactly. I’m sure it’s people that don’t understand the concept. They focus on globalWARMING.
Averages are even harder to understand than magnets.
"I am so smart. S. M. R. T!"
D'oh
Trusting this guy with science now? Jesus Crist...
Can we please all just stop giving a fuck about this imbecile?
Unfortunately a lot of people, especially a lot of young boys and men, seems to have been basically brought up listening to this moron. He has been incredibly influential in spreading right wing lies and creating new generations of fascists.
And all those young boys were like "he's not right wing" the entire time, then he endorsed Trump like we all knew he would, because we're not fuckin brain damaged.
Limbaugh 2.0
He's basically the spokesperson / chief propagandist of the current american administration, I don dont think we should stop giving a fuck. I think we should force him to fight wildfires forever
He really is unbelievably dumb. Unfortunately millions of people don't realize this, or don't care.
No, its worse than that.
The core of his appeal was/is that he was/is an average Gen X macho meatheaded dudebro who is an idiot, but also thinks he is clever in ways most people don't appreciate, thinks that his 'common sense' is sufficient to sniff out bullshit.
He is an aspirational figure for millions of older male losers, a father figure for younger male losers / kids from broken families.
He is also basically a near perfect embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.
In fact, I'm just gonna directly shill this video from the Elephant Graveyard here, it is recent, and an utterly phenomenonal explanation of ... what Joe Rogan has done to the 'comedy' scene, and wider society as a whole.

Anyone reading this: please watch this if you have not already, hell, get some popcorn.
It's hard to realize you're listening to a dumbass talk when you yourself are a dumbass.
