SpongeBob SquarePants in the Endless Summer


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-h-gleick/fox-climate-spongebob_b_917678.html

Today's (August 3) edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends included a remarkable exchange on the issue of SpongeBob Squarepants, climate change science, and the state of science education in the U.S. Apparently, using cartoons to teach children about important science issues of the day raises hackles at Fox, especially when those issues are at odds with their political perspectives. In particular, Fox & Friends attacked SpongeBob for an episode in which the role of human emissions (or at least SpongeBob and Mr. Krab's emissions) of carbon dioxide in global warming is made clear -- a scientific fact well understood for over a century.

Fox's Steve Doocy acknowledges that the planet is warming; but doesn't understand why. He says "the big question is, 'is it manmade, or is it just one of those gigantic climatic phases that we're going through.'" A colleague says "It's unproven science."

But for Gretchen Carlson, it isn't enough that the show tackled an issue of public concern, she just doesn't understand SpongeBob at all. She said "it's hard to even follow sometimes," while another commentator is heard saying "I don't get it."

Of course, the idea that humans are largely responsible for the growing changes in climate that we are observing around the world is not scientifically controversial -- just politically controversial at places like Fox & Friends. Every single professional scientific organization in the geosciences and every single national academy of sciences acknowledges the major contribution of humans to climate change -- here is just a partial list. There is still controversy, especially over how policymakers should tackle the problem, but the "scientific controversy" is only evident in the right-wing media among commentators, bloggers, and editorial boards.

What is particularly ironic about this Fox & Friends episode is that after misrepresenting the science themselves, they lament the state of science education in the U.S. and call for improvement. Perhaps we could start with the commentators at Fox & Friends.

Didn't someone also say that Spongebob is pushing the gay agenda or something like that?

Man, ignorant people really hate sponges.

Dunno about Spongebob but some time back Jerry Falwell accused one of the Teletubbies of being a secret gay.

edit: found the link - it was tinky winky

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/276677.stm

"In an article called Parents Alert: Tinky Winky Comes Out of the Closet, he says: "He is purple - the gay-pride colour; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle - the gay-pride symbol.""

I like how she inserts "well, my kids watch limited television anyway, but when they do choose to watch this one..."

"I'M A RESPONSIBLE MOTHER!!!"
 
There isn't much point to global warming propaganda in cartoons since by the time the core audience is old enough to react to it, the models will either have been validated or refuted.
 
America sure loves to bath its collective brain in salt.
 
Seriously, most of the negative stuff I see in the news about Fox comes from Fox and Friends. Do they not realize they are single handedly enforcing the stereotype about Foxnews and are hurting the credability of the network? The hosts are buffoons as well, and I'm conservative. They really need to do a complete revamp of their morning show.
 
So...Nick is now the new agenda to global warming? :lol


And that woman...her voice just makes me want to slap her to oblivion.

Hurting the credibility of the network?

The people that enjoy Fox and Friends, watch Fox and Friends.
 
It's funny that someone watching Fox News sent a tweet in say that kids should "think for themselves", irony abound!

Now, that's a damn fucking lie, but hey, it's far easier just to claim something is "fact" and not demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the equations and models behind such "facts."

To those with not much of a technical background in chemistry, physics, and the engineering fields, here's a little secret: we cannot prove anything as absolute fact! Every scientific law and equation is a mere approximation of a mechanism of the universe- which all have varying degrees of error under varying conditions and circumstances. A good scientist, researcher, or engineer should not blindly accept any scientific claim as absolute fact, but should be to assign a probability to such claims and show its potential error is within an acceptable range.

What you quoted is not a lie. What you quoted contains nothing concerning what you posted.

....You do realize that what you quoted had absolutely nothing to do with what you said right?
 
Funniest part to me was when the guy says american schools are ranked low and that they shouldn't be teaching "questionable" science like it is a reason for the poor rankings. What scares me is that this mindset is growing in Canada too.

And do you realize perhaps I was trying to present an even more important message related to the overall topic, rather than just a quick counterpoint to a useless article bitching about a TV show bitching about a cartoon bitching to kids?
 
To be fair, we could make a post like this numerous occasions for each episode of "Fox and Friends." It's that bad.

@Something Wicked unless the definition of gravity is central to your point you might wanna just get to your point already.

It is not necessarily central to my point, but those saying "nothing is fact?... how about gravity? lolololol" just further prove to me that many of you do not understand the scientific concepts that you bring up, but instead many of guys just know the scientific buzzwords/phrases to sound intelligent.

Gravity is actually an extremely controversial subject as well. Is it the effect of "spacetime curvature?" Is it the effect of a specific undetected particle? Or is it perhaps just the net effect of other fundamental forces (electromagnetic and/or weak/strong nuclear)? Even in the year 2011, we do not know- and personally, I think it's most likely the third option- gravity not being a separate fundamental force, but the net effect of the others.
 
Just like with the manatees, I will show you, as I did in this post, how the conservative right, once again, is saving you and pointing out a glaring issue we need to solve.

Who's to say this sponge isn't part of some sort of Lamestream media conspiracy? You? We'll you are a fool or a liar. Probably both. Ask yourself this question, who pays the bills here?

Viacom. And what does Viacom own?

Comedy Central. Which has what show on its programming?

The Daily Show. I think we see what's going on here and, once again, the GAF hive mind jumps all over it. Sheep, the lot of you.

Spongebob Sqarepants is merely a front for the Liberal media to push homosexual values and unproven science on your children. What's next? Spongebob gay marring your kid to a manatee before they drive off in their Prius to have homosexual relations in a tree that's about the be cut down? HMM?!
