Jordan Bernt Peterson (born June 12, 1962) is a Canadian clinical psychologist and a retired professor of psychology at the University of Toronto.[1] He studies abnormal, social, and personality psychology. He is interested in the psychology of religious and ideological belief.[4] Peterson’s views are generally described as conservative.[5]

Peterson has criticised political correctness,[6] Marxism,[7] and postmodernism.[8] Peterson has said "the climate change thing for me is a contentious issue, because you can’t trust the players." However, he does believe climate change to be an issue.[9][10]
