February beats record for hottest month ever- set last month.

Gonna go way out on a limb here and say that March will be even warmer than February. This March will be the warmest March ever.

Groupthink:

Groupthink occurs when a homogenous highly cohesive group is so concerned with maintaining unanimity that they fail to evaluate all their alternatives and options. Groupthink members see themselves as part of an in-group working against an outgroup opposed to their goals. You can tell if a group suffers from groupthink if it:

1) overestimates its invulnerability or high moral stance,
2) collectively rationalizes the decisions it makes,
3) demonizes or stereotypes outgroups and their leaders,
4) has a culture of uniformity where individuals censor themselves and others so that the facade of group unanimty is maintained, and
5) contains members who take it upon themselves to protect the group leader by keeping information, theirs or other group members', from the leader.

Groups engaged in groupthink tend to make faulty decisions when compared to the decisions that could have been reached using a fair, open, and rational decision-making process. Groupthinking groups tend to:

1-5 items

Group leaders can prevent groupthink by:

1-9 items

Sounds like you're talking about the leftist dopes who regularly display the ignorant, intolerant tenets of their secular quasi-religion on sites just like this one.
