The main issue I see here is global warming, dismissing the possibility that a Sporer - Dalton type of solar minimum would not affect the climate significantly. So if I happen to use a less appropriate link to a person who merely conveys a message of others, he is demonized within hours. He is a crook, so he is wrong. I resent that. Science is not about shooting messengers, Groupthink is about shooting messengers. The message stands unless somebody substantiates why a Dalton type minimum would not affect the climate significantly.

And if you tick of the eight symtoms of groupthink against the structure of the global warming scaremongering, you would immediately nominate Irving Janis for the Nobel prize. Hair raising. Never have I seen such an extreme accurate analyzis/prediction in any non-exact science.
