I'm not saying an out and out lie is the way forward, but as long as the basic message is correct, I don't think the iconography is going to make much of a difference.

Wouldn't it have been eaiser to show a big coal plant billowing black smoke into the sky. The choice was weird to me.

I think there is no such thing as Global Warming. I think there is and has been warming and cooling trends that have absolutely ZERO to do with us. I also believe we are destroying the planet by treating it like a garbage can. When will people stop lying about GW to get their agend accross? When people learn the truth, they are going to be mad and feel used and may not care at all about the environment. I think Al Gore is going to be the single most harmfull thing this envoronment has ever faced. Please folks, educate your kids with Science, not fantasy.

yes I do 100%. But telling everyone there is an immaginary evil out to get them is not the way to accomplish this task. One only needs to ask where all the plastic bottles go to start to understand what we are doing here.

It is much simpler than we make it.
Nickelodeon is subjecting our children to propaganda. The agenda is clear. The motivation is reduced resistance to future policy.

Still, my guess is that whoever did this promo had no idea that it is nuclear plant/cooling tower/water vapor. All he/she/it saw in some database was a massive smoking structure that looked very "subject-juicy". So thus it got in. Nickelodeon is entertainment channel, a good one probably. But education? From Nickelodeon?

Anthropogenic Global Warming is nothing more than a pitiful hoax still gripping the minds of an uneducated public, it is a nice fairytale and thus I find it UNNACEPTABLE that is is told as fact to our children, Al Gore the smug little ***** has a new book coming out on GW soon and that pains me, it also sickens me the man won a nobel prize for promoting pseudoscience and fear, jut another thing to keep us occupied and make us feel guilty.

Now this may cause some to flame me endlessly, but I think AG got the Nobel prize because he was willing to put his face and name in the spotlight over the new revenue model that will make some people rich beyond belief.
I used to believe that the Nobel Prize was legit. And frankly, I think it may have been at one point. But now, at this point, I think it's just a scam.
