Neil deGrasse Tyson: Santa’s North Pole home will be a victim of climate change
All this talk about Polar Bears suffering with Global Warming — nobody thinks about Santa, the Arctic’s most famous resident

Since the Northern Arctic is just ocean, Santa’s North Pole workshop has only ever existed on a floating sheet of ice.

As Earth warms, and Arctic ice melts, Santa will lose his habitat too. Soon we’ll see photos of him clutched to an ice floe.

Santa is pale because he’s in the middle of six months of darkness on Earth’s North Pole. And he delivers gifts only at night

Never understood why an overweight Arctic toymaker delivers Christmas gifts rather than representations of the Three Wise Men

If people left carrots, celery, & hot tea for Santa on the table rather than milk & cookies, I bet he’d be much, much thinner

Male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in winter. All Santa’s reindeer, Rudolph too, are therefore female.

FYI: By the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas song, your home is crammed with 23 flying Birds and 50 hyperactive Humans.
