Clinical psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson has delivered a stinging criticism of the Australian government’s adoption of higher net-zero emissions reduction targets, warning it will “devastate” the country.

In a video on his YouTube channel, Peterson lambasted a May 2022 report from auditing giant Deloitte on climate change modelling, claiming that inaction could cost the world $178 trillion by 2070.
