In a climate change conference rant this week, actor Robert De Niro took cheap shots at President Trump — but quick-to-notice viewers, immediately calling out the liberal bully for his flagrant hypocrisy and lack of knowledge on the issue of “climate change,” exposed the out-of-touch Hollywood elitist as the “f***ing idiot" he once accused Trump of being.

Delingpole: The Shocking True Story of How Global Warming Became the Biggest #FakeNews Scare of All Time (Pt 1)

Why do so many apparently informed, intelligent, educated people still believe in ManBearPig?
For the same reason that the U.S. underestimated the Japanese threat before Pearl Harbor; that General MacArthur stupidly advanced north of the 38th parallel in Korea; that JFK got embroiled in the Bay of Pigs disaster; that LBJ dragged the U.S. deeper and deeper into the Vietnam War.

A phenomenon known as ‘groupthink’.

Though the name dates back to a 1952 article in Fortune magazine by William H Whyte, it wasn’t popularized for another twenty years when a Yale research psychologist called Irving Janis used it in the title of his influential 1972 Victims of Groupthink.

Little did he know it – Janis was looking to past events like the ones mentioned above, not the future – but his book would anatomize with unerring accuracy the perverse mindset which would lead to the creation of the biggest, most expensive junk science scam the world has ever witnessed: the great global warming scare.

This is the subject of a must-read paper for the Global Warming Policy Foundation by Christopher Booker: Global Warming – A Case Study in Groupthink.

We Are The In-Group. Critical Thinking Is Irrelevant.



"Hive mind and groupthink are the antithesis of critical thinking... it’s really our responsibility to make sure that we recognize the risk and control for it. You all agree, right? Right?"

We are the In-Group.
Critical thinking is irrelevant. 
Resistance is futile.

Caution: HIVE MIND AHEAD

From 'Hive Mind & Groupthink' -

"Hive mind, says Wikipedia, is 'a form of collective consciousness strongly exhibiting traits of conformity and groupthink.'Groupthink, according to psychologist Irving Janis, who coined the term, is 'a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group, when the members’ strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action.' Each term shares the common roots of conformity, unwillingness to dissent, and self-censorship. Combined, they form a noose around the neck... producing shallow thinking, flawed reasoning, and bad decision making.

(compiled from various sources)
Eight Typical Symptoms Of Groupthink

The illusion of invulnerability | 'The group is incapable of doing wrong.' Janis summaries this attitude as "everything is going to be OK, because we are a special group." Examining few alternatives.
Belief in the inherent group morality | Members automatically assume the rightness of their target. The group feels what they are doing is best for everyone.
Rationalization of group views | A collective mindset of being rational. 'The group's ends justify the means.' Being highly selective in gathering information.
Stereotypical thinking | Employing preconceived notions in evaluating information. Defining outsiders prejudically and stereotypically, not as individuals. Negative stereotyping is particularly likely in political decision making, which is nearly always conducted in a conflictual intergroup context. A common consequence of intergroup conflict is derogation of the outgroup and glorification of the in-group.
Self-censorship | Pressure for conformity within the group; members withhold criticisms or only offer equivocal or tempered opinions. The group is not looking for outside opinions. 
The illusion of unanimity | Group members look only to each other to confirm theories. Silence is taken as agreement.
Direct pressure on dissenters | Pressure to protect group from contrary views or information. Members aggressively "go after" those who disagree with the general sentiments of the group.
Self-appointed mindguards | 'Thought Police'. Members who take it on themselves to protect a group from dissenting ideas & information that might shatter their shared complacency.

Three key preventative strategies against Groupthink that can be deployed within groups:

Avoid 'closed' climates. Welcome diversity and innovation, and embrace the pedagogy of trust. 
Avoid isolation of the group. Particularly from those groups which are critical of it. 
Avoid excessive direction or prescription in terms of the development of the group.

Hive Mentality and Group Think: What realism you've both brought here for a better understanding of "their" cc conundrum we can't understand!

Today The Drudge Report highlighted a Mac and Cheese recipe mix to reduce cc. Three months ago the makings for a sandwich inducing further cc was FP news!

Charlotte, NC's The John Boy and Billy Big Show's grumpy 24-7 Mad Max wore that new samwitch makins cc study out! He and the radio show crew had me ROTFLMAO, in my Freightliner's limited floor space! To date I've heard it twice and I somehow kept it between the lines both times!

That is a cc alarmist tearfully alarming his out of sight, out mind, in-kind alarmists.

REF: Our Heart Strings Are Being Pulled Again With CC As The Culprit!

You'll hear that Easter Island's Moai are in danger of being washed away by a 6 foot sea level rise by 2100. The over 800 Moai that are strangely buried belly deep or neck deep all over the island are over 30 feet tall!

It's only 52 seconds long and before viewing it most of us knew cc would be to blame.

CARBON DIOXIDE IS MOSTLY OXYGEN, PEOPLE: Deceptive Language Ruins Earth Hour

TOM HARRIS

Executive Director, Climate Science Coalition

5:20 PM 03/23/2018


With Earth Hour being held around the world between 8:30 and 9:30 pm local time on Saturday, we are going to hear a lot about reducing “carbon pollution,” “carbon emissions,” and our supposed “carbon footprint.”

But this makes no sense.

Carbon is a solid, naturally occurring, non-toxic element found in all living things. It forms thousands of compounds, much more than any other element. Medicines, trees, oil, and even our bodies are made of carbon compounds.

Pure carbon occurs in nature mainly in the forms of graphite and diamond. So, what is the “carbon pollution” environmentalists are concerned about? Are they speaking about soot emissions reduction? Amorphous carbon, carbon without structure, is the main ingredient in soot, which is a pollutant important to control. Power plants have already done a good job reducing soot, as they have with other pollutants.


No, activists are crusading against emissions of one specific compound of carbon, namely carbon dioxide (CO2). Ignoring the oxygen atoms and calling CO2 “carbon” makes about as much sense as ignoring the oxygen in water (H2O) and calling it “hydrogen.”

Well that explains something that's been sorely missed from the chats about cc! Many thanks Doka and I will view the link when I have more time.

Dogged gone my tough luck. The Drudge Report had a news highlight I put off going to and it was going to be here this AM. 30 minutes later it was pulled off the page! If anyone finds it please place it here.

I found it!
