Some people like the herd mentality, it gives them a feeling of fitting in, or belonging. It also saves them the trouble of having to think for themselves.
Definition of herd mentality
: the tendency of the people in a group to think and behave in ways that conform with others in the group rather than as individuals
Such is the case with many climate change proponents, who think they are morally anointed with holy oils because they are “saving the planet”.
Me, I’m all about facts and essential oils, like petroleum. Without it, not of you would be reading this article.

I am very much into saving the planet, though I am not sure it has to do with “herd mentality” 😉

Well, you’re not alone there. Research has shown that conservatives are way more likely to take what action they can take on a personal level (recycling, energy conservation, don’t litter, etc., etc.) toward being kind to our planet, than the liberals who want government to seize everyone’s income and use it to Green-New-Deal.
From an interview of former CDC director, Dr. Robert Redfield on COVID-19: “I don’t think it’s plausible that this virus went from a bat, to an animal–we still don’t know what animal–and then went into humans. And immediately had learned how to be human-to-human transmissible to the point of now causing one of the greatest pandemics we’ve had in the history of the world”
Question: “Do you think the probability here is that this leaked from a lab?”
“Well, my professional opinion as a virologist is that’s the hypothesis that I support. You know, other individuals–Tony Fauci for example–would say that he prefers to support that it evolved from nature. I think those are the two hypotheses. I should work hard to prove my hypothesis wrong, and he should work hard to prove his hypothesis wrong”
It’s refreshing to hear from a scientist that actually knows how to do science. Your mission is to prove your hypotheses and theories wrong as it’s impossible to prove them correct.
I look at the state of science today and wonder…how did we ever move beyond living in caves and eating raw food?
So it must have been the Engineers that moved us forward, not the Scientists.
It was supermarkets.
The difference is today there is an ideological Propaganda Machine working 24 hours per day to brainwash the people of the world into ideological “Correct Thinking”.
Too many people are easily misled.

Something came to mind while reading this:
Has anyone noticed that when it comes to other topics, such as wearing masks, covid vaccine, etc., that the AGW believers around here are almost all in agreement on all of it, while the skeptics are all over the place on those issues?
I think the cartoon captures that exceptionally well.
Quote “Without it, not of you would be”
None instead of not.
I am not really sure if a spell checker is a help or a hindrance.
