Andre,
You seem "focused" on groupthink. Do you think that BAUT is an example of groupthink?

...Groupthink, a term coined by social psychologist Irving Janis (1972), occurs when a group makes faulty decisions because group pressures lead to a deterioration of “mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment” (p. 9).

If you think the group of BAUT members is of one mind, that ignores alternatives, well, I think you haven't read enough of it. There are members with a wide variety of beliefs here, even on the topic of climate change.
If your groupthink comments are towards the wider, scientific community, then please address my point in post # 12.
And your analogy to the measurement of the freezing point of water is far too simplistic, compared to the issues of climate change.
