Greenpeace is warning children the world over Santa Claus will not be bringing gifts to them because - Polidicks

[quote]“Dear children, I regrettably bring bad tidings. For some time now, melting ice here in 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,” Santa warned in the Greenpeace video.

Better than the alternative. "Santa won't be bringing you presents cause you're poor."

Father Christmas lives in Lappland, you fucking hackie sackers.

Best bit of my childhood was Christmas. Fuck anyone who ruins it for anyone else.

I'm not sure what exactly Greenpeace is wrong for, by using Santa to bring attention to an environmental issue.

The sea ice extent is still hundreds of miles away from the North Pole, Santa should be good for now. Though I'd recommend moving operations to Greenland's nice sturdy glacier.

This is some cartoon-level villainy.

greenpeace is dumb

[QUOTE=lazyguy;43139838]Father Christmas lives in Lappland, you fucking hackie sackers.[/QUOTE] No, he lives somewhere in Nunavut, why else would people write letters to Santa Claus North Pole H0H 0H0 Canada Every year? Seriously, if you write a letter to Santa with that address and postal code from anywhere in the world, Canada Post will send you back a letter from "Santa."

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;43140548]Ask yourself this: is making children cry an effective way of spreading your message?[/QUOTE] There's the huge problem of climate change, and your counterargument to greenpeace using santa is "It might upset some children"? Think of a better reason. Is that really the only reason? It's horribly weak and shit. Would your opinion be different if a different organization done this?

[QUOTE=yawmwen;43140600]global warming is dumb[/QUOTE] Greenpeace is against nuclear fusion research so I guess they're fine with the idea of global warming.

The point is, all this does is turn people further against them. They need to pick a better method.
