Global warming has prompted Santa Claus to issue an urgent appeal to children to help save his home in the Arctic. In a new video from the radical environmental group Greenpeace, the jolly old elf hardly looks like himself as he announces, “I bring bad tidings.”
With labored breaths, Santa says, “For some time now melting ice, here, at the North Pole has made our operations and our day to day life intolerable and impossible and there may be no alternative but to cancel Christmas.”
The timing of Greenpeace’s video is arguably not the best.
The Arctic sea ice minimum, reached in September, saw a 49% increase over the previous year. That represents an increase of 653,000 square miles giving Santa and the reindeer quite a bit more snow and ice to play on and use to prepare for Christmas.
