Santa’s moving to South Pole because of global warming
A Canadian government website claims Santa Claus signed an international agreement to relocate his workshop to the South Pole to escape the effects of manmade global warming in the Arctic.
The website for Policy Horizons Canada, a government website, notes that due to ‘rapidly melting Arctic ice and growing human operations in the North, Santa Claus has signed an agreement with the International community to relocate his village next year to operate in an exclusive zone in the South Pole.”
According to newbostonpost.com, policy Horizons was created to advise government of¿cials on emerging public policy issues. The group put out a series of Christmas-themed blog posts that tie into emerging liberal policy concerns.
Horizons also put out blog posts on Santa relying on a self-àying sleigh, investing in Bitcoin and even using 3D printing technology to make toys. The latest blog post, however, is meant to focus on climate refugees.
“Santa’s relocation agreement marks the ¿rst time that the international community agrees on a common legal de¿nition of climate change that includes refugees as corporations, as well as individuals,” reads the Horizons website.
“This deal is expected to lead to the deployment of a global climate change refugee visa system that in the near future could help to more easily relocate individuals and corporations facing the impacts of climate change,” the website continues.
Politicians and environmentalists have been claiming for years that man-made global warming will increase the number of peoples displaced by extreme weather events and violent conàicts.
A recent study even claimed temperature changes drove increased applications for asylum in Europe. A June study predicted two billion ‘climate change refugees’ by the end of the century if nothing is done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Most famously, the UN Environment Program predicted there would be 50 million ‘climate refugees’ by 2010. When that didn’t come to pass, the UN quietly removed a web page containing the information, and pushed the prediction to 2020.
