It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Groupthink

Very important article at Watts Up with that.

"Groupthink was extensively studied by Yale psychologist Irving L. Janis and described in his 1982 book Groupthink: Psychological Studies of Policy Decisions and Fiascoes.'

The concepts elucidated by Janis seem to fit the CAGW crowd like a glove. If the glove fits you must commit.

We were warned by Presdsident Eisenhower that government could become hostage to a technological elite.

"Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific/technological elite."

The CAGW concept has done just that. The expense and waste of the false human induced CO2 global warming belief should be a lesson that brings more oversight of government allocation of funds for scientific research. How do you guard against groupthink?
