Andrew Dessler is climate scientist and Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M, so it’s safe to say that climate change is kind of his jam.
It makes sense that if Joe Rogan was looking for a voice on the “AGW is Definitely Happening and Here’s the Proof” side, he’d choose Andrew Dessler to be that voice.
So Joe Rogan chose Andrew Dessler. And this is what happened:
Mythinformed MKE ~ Staying true to his word, Joe Rogan brought Andrew Dessler the “other side” on to represent the mainstream narrative on climate science.
When asked if he would ever debate Dessler states “I won’t debate the science, the science is set”.
Sound familiar?

What you have just witnessed is Joe Rogan — that problematic, pot-smoking, MMA-loving meathead — getting Andrew Dessler — an esteemed climate scientist and professor — to admit to millions of people that he’s too scared to debate anyone on the science of climate change.
Maybe Joe Rogan’s not actually the meathead in this scenario after all.
No, Rogan is no meathead ... faux-scientists, like Fauci and Dessler, who purport to shut down all debate by saying "the science is settled" simply because they say it is, are the ludicrous meatheads.
The Moronic Variant ~ Goodness. This dude must hang around Fauci with a mindset that the ‘Science is Settled.’
Dessler’s definitely Fauci-esque.
Igor Santiago ~ When you criticize Andrew Dessler you're criticizing Science.
Heh.
Jason Dugas ~ "The science is settled."
Big_Tuna ~ Andrew Dessler basically says I know I'm right no need for further conversation. Just believe what I say no sources needed.
Not how science works, Andrew.
Kartikeya Tanna ~ This approach is very revealing. I won't debate the science because the science is set.
Blueberry ~ Dessler claims he's open to debating policy, since policy involves value judgments, but he's not open to debating the science, since "the science is set."
But "the science is set" is a value judgment.
These are not serious people.
junes ~ Dessler saying this demonstrates why the left will not expose their alarmism to anything but the most friendly venue. Science is not "settled," but the political consensus on the left certainly is.
A Ghoul from Eldia ~ Again, that is the most unscientific argument possible. The beauty of science is that it is precise. You can do these same experiments over and over again and you should get the same results. That is why if you believe in your work you should invite people to challenge you.
Michael J. Lewis II ~ Not doing a lot for the "ivory tower" pejorative @AndrewDessler. It's likely you UNDERestimate the utility of protracted, rigorous public exchange. Over a reasonable timescale & w/ proper structure, collective sensemaking is possible. Fiat is not fact.
Honking While Rome Burns ~ Man this guy sure uses a lot of words to say, "I'm afraid to debate."
Scientists know a lot of words.
Yeah, especially the tin-pot scientists.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
