If you watch that episode, Joe pushes back a bunch of times and even pulls up Google for a fact check. It's just that Joe is polite with his guests and that seems to confuse people who are used to Twitter style dunking. Is that what people are looking for? Should he kick off his guests and yell at them? Or put them on guide rails? I don't think so. He has friendly conversations and disagrees in a polite way. Also Jordan is being mischaracterized somewhat. You have to watch the whole explanation and ignore repackaged soundbites. He was (inartfully and perhaps incorrectly) challenging the accuracy of predictive models, which is a fair thing to do. It's not the end of the world. He can challenge it and others can present the counter argument. Plus it's important to recognize that he's on the side of the environment. He argues (and I agree with him) that the best way to improve the environment is to bring people out of poverty, which enables people to think and strategize over longer time frames, not being so focused on their next meal or paying the bills. I believe he is correct about this larger point.
