Santa’s Manifesto For A Green Christmas
THE North Pole is to disappear in 5 years. But can it be saved. Time for Santa to get off his fat arse and do something. The Climate Kops want their presents, Santa. Goats don’t deliver themselves to Africa. Happily, there’s a text book.
‘Santa Goes Green’ pushes the eco-agenda with the story of a boy who forgoes toys to save the polar bear’s habitat. As Free Republic reports, via Gateway Pundit:
’Tis the season … to be green. No, not even the traditions of Christmas are immune to the efforts of global warming activism.
Not even…

The Seattle Winter Solstice Cancelled On Snow Cap Mountain
THE Seattle Winter Solstice has been “RESCHEDULED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER.”
Brrr. It’s cold in the winter.
Do the Kinder Kops know? Nein:
THERE is no inconvenient truth, only pride in the children’s animated film that will premiere at a Bankstown film festival on Saturday. Zaky’s Adventures is a computer-animated film for children that deals with global warming.
What killed Fred Flintstone?
In the film Zaky, a purple bear, gets a letter from his pen-pal Mowy the polar bear, who must close his extreme snowboarding school because global warming is making the snow disappear.

How Man’s Warming Prevented The Ice Age
A PRESS release explains that it wasn’t the industrial age that sparked global warming. No, it was Asians and the Hun:
SAN FRANCISCO — The common wisdom is that the invention of the steam engine and the advent of the coal-fueled industrial age marked the beginning of human influence on global climate.
Wisdom?

The Magnetosphere Is Leaking On Your Head
EARTH’S magnetosphere is leaking.
The magnetosphere is the region around our planet that shields us from the worst solar storms, says Space.com. It’s the big new scare:
The leaks are defying many of scientists’ previous ideas on how the interaction between Earth’s magnetosphere and solar wind occurs: The leaks are in an unexpected location, let in solar particles in faster than expected and the whole interaction works in a manner that is completely the opposite of what scientists had thought.
Scientists think? But isn’t it all maths and facts?

The Ten Worst Protests Ever: Global Warming Update
AN update to Anorak’s Top Ten Worst Protest Ever: Jenny McCracken’s long drive to end global warming:
Jenny McCracken drove all the way up from Melbourne on Monday to her parents’ home in Sunnycliffs to stage a one-woman protest over climate change at Federal MP John Forrest’s Mildura electorate office in Madden Avenue yesterday.
The freelance artist turned environmental activist didn’t plan it that way. She issued a media release this week urging concerned citizens in Sunraysia to protest peacefully outside Mr Forrest’s office at the Rudd Government’s less than draconian plans to extinguish the global warming dragon.
Mr Forrest was not in.

Green Monsters: Instilling Fear In Children
CHILDREN are great. They come all new and then you get to work on them, passing on your irrational fears and prejudices.
In a piece entitled “Perhaps a fox could bite my bottom”, the Times looks at the “Anxiety timeline”, how humans develop from a fear of “unusual situations at birth (being alive) to “goblins” and paedos, to being Josh, aged 8:
“It’s scary to think of pollution destroying all the rainforests so the animals haven’t got anything to eat and then the plants will die and the human race will die.”
And Josh will die… On a positive note, there will be no more nightmares when we’re all gone, and with the undergrowth dead, the paedo at the bottom of the garden will be exposed…
As Amy, 13, says:
“It scares me thinking that one day I might get so old that I lose my sense of humour and no one wants to be friends with me because I’m no fun.”
Hush, Amy, there, there. So long as the rainforest dies, you will never grow old…
Now sleeeeeppppp…
Rocka by baby, on the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will drop, when the logger chops down the bough and the entire forest with it, baby will suffocate and we will all be dead…
Amen.

Obama Rules The Warmed World As The End Day Approaches
TIM Flannery writes on Perth, the dying city:
Speaking last night at the State Government’s Sydney Futures forum, Dr Flannery warned of a city grappling with up to 60 per cent less water. As temperatures around the world warmed by 2 to 7 per cent, Sydney could glimpse its future by looking at the devastating impact that global warming had already had on Perth… ”I think there is a fair chance Perth will be the 21st century’s first ghost metropolis,” Dr Flannery said.
The ABC reported yesterday:
Record rainfall in Perth has led to the November average being reached just six days into the month; it’s the wettest start to November since 1969.
Of course, it’s not too late. One man can stop the weather. No, not Tony Blair. Well, not only him. But Barack Obama.

Solar Panels Cause Global Warming
SOLAR panels. Blame them for warming the planet:
Alexander Ač has pointed out that a greenhouse gas emitted during the production of solar panels and HDTVs, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) that is used for cleaning some parts of the gadgets, is about 17,000 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Carbon Cuddling The Human Virus: The Climate Change Delusion
AFTER climate change delusion, and bi-polarism, comes Carbon Cuddling:
Psychiatrists in America have identified a new mental illness that threatens the very fabric of society: an obsession with saving the planet. Some people are so addicted to cutting their carbon emissions that they seem to have gone quite mad.
It’s the sun that drives them crayzee..

OLD MR Anorak art collection: Earth Art:
The flat, woven areas of the piece are meant to reference agricultural plains which supply food. The “fields” are interwoven with tufted, bushy areas of the piece, which represent forests and jungles, and other wild environments that are disappearing.
Can we embroider that on a cushion?

God Is A Green Giant: The Green Bible Is Good Enough To Eat
“DID you know the Bible contains 1,000 references to the planet but only 490 references to heaven and 530 references to love? Could this mean God is the supreme tree-hugger?”
Anorak contests the Chicago Tribune’s figures and wonders if Eve’s fig leaves have been double counted in both the love and plant categories.
But we shall not delve into ecumenical matters, but let the Tribune continue to speak of the Green Bible, a Scripture for the Prius age:

2013 And The Climate Crunch Will Squash Us All
IT’S not when the ice will melt and drown us all that triggers any debate, but why we are being made to wait so long for the big flood.
The Indy’s Johann Hari looks into this crystal ball:
We are living through two great meltdowns – the credit crunch, and the climate crunch. The heating of the planet is now happening so fast it’s hard to pluck a single event to fix on, but here’s one. By the summer of 2013, the Arctic will be free of ice. How big an event it [sic] this?
Climate crunch…

Polar Bears Take Manhattan And Britain Drowns
THE WWF says we are going to start swimming earlier than expected. Say the nature wrestlers:
Arctic sea-ice in September 1979 and 2007, showing the biggest reduction since satellite surveillance began.
Or as the Telegraph puts it:
Climate change is happening much faster than the world’s best scientists predicted and will wreak havoc unless action is taken on a global scale, a new report warns.
On the other side of the debate is the news that the Alaskan ice is growing.
