McGill University biology professor Dr. Catherine Potvin was scheduled to host a lecture on global warming at the University of Windsor on Wednesday.
However, the school, located just outside Detroit in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, was hit by heavy snowfall, forcing the event’s cancellation.
Unfortunately for warmists, there was another alarming twist: Wednesday’s storm also helped shatter the city’s snowfall record, and guidance suggests more to come in the coming weeks.I can imagine the notes on the bulletin boards at McGill: Global warming lecture canceled due to weather.
Dr Einstein had a great definition of insanity.
I think wiki does as good as anyone defining "group think":
Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people, in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an incorrect or deviant decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints, by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.I was first introduced to the concept of "group think" in the early years of my Air Force career. The military is exceptional in providing education and training for its forces, and counter-intuitively were not afraid of studying diverse and dissenting viewpoints.
Writing that brings back humorous memories. In Air War College, as an example, I learned that soldiers and airmen looked at bridges behind enemy lines very differently. Army soldiers thought that Air Force pilots considered bridges, buildings, and vehicles as homogeneous targets simply to be "taken out." The soldiers, on the other hand, saw those bridges and other structures as potential assets. The Air Force: everything was a target. LOL. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. LOL. Wow, some good memories.
