They'll stop at nothing.
Global warming alarmists, picking up where the Grinch left off, are trying to steal Christmas, some critics say. From children's books to school plays, the climate change crowd is dreaming of a green Christmas, angering opponents who say 'tis NOT the season to be preachy.
The children's book "Santa Goes Green" by Anne Margaret Lewis tells how a young boy named Finn gets Santa to leave the North Pole to help him track down Leopold, a polar bear he has adopted, because the sea ice is melting and Leopold's home is in danger.
“You see, it’s like this Santa,” Finn tells Santa in the book. “I’ve adopted a polar bear named Leopold. He is in danger of losing his home. I’m sure you being in the North Pole you know about the melting glaciers. All I want this year Santa, is to save Leopold and his home.”
Santa is so inspired by his visit to the polar bear that he decides to re-use last year's wrapping paper, recycle toys and start using wind to generate power for his toy shop.
The book ends with a note from Santa urging kids to send him notes on how to take care of the planet.
A musical, "Santa Goes Green," for children in grades 4 through 8, also made its debut this year. The 40-minute production features seven songs.
Song titles include: "Recycle the Fruitcake," "The Greenhouse Effect" and "Turn Off The Pump (And Plug In The Sleigh.)"
