Here’s the popup message solicitation you get when you visit the website for the first time:
Climate change is melting the North Pole and it’s no longer safe for Santa and his Workshop. So our dear old friend is packing up the sleigh to find somewhere else to live.
You can help! Move your mouse over this website to find gifts you can buy Santa to help him set up a temporary Workshop and protect the North Pole for his return.
Of course, you’re savvy enough to know we won’t be sending actual gifts to Santa. You will receive a tax receipt for 100% of your purchase and proceeds will be used by the David Suzuki Foundation to support our critical work to protect nature and the environment from threats like climate change.
Buying these green gifts and personalized ecards on behalf of hard-to-buy-for friends or relatives on your holiday list is a great way to show you’re thinking of them — and the planet!
Sincere thanks,
The David Suzuki Foundation
This is nothing more than a thinly veiled revenue generator for the foundation.
No shame, no scruples, just send money. Is it any wonder informed people are doubting the climate change issue when presented with crap like this?
h/t to Mike Bromley in Canada who writes:
Canadian geneticist-turned-environmentalist David Suzuki targeted children in his latest outburst of emotionally-charged enviro-gab, this time scaring the fun out of Christmas by warning that Santa’s home was melting. In a post-black-Friday period of climate-ethical circus generation, this takes the cake. This is beyond reprehensible.
Here’s what the North Pole looks like today:
UPDATE: Here’s a clip from 1972 showing Suzuki comparing humans to maggots in his own words. Looks like that must have been his Che’ Guevara period. (h/t Daily Bayonet)

Climate Chnage? Title Change lol 🙂
“No shame, no scruples, just send money.”
I’m not sure how that makes them special: Many religions beg for money.
This will do them more harm than good. “None so blind”, etc……
David Suzuki is an evil evil man, people are a “cancer” in the eyes of this freak and the like of him, I think Santa will be bringing this scoundrel a bag of ashes this Christmas, a very fitting gift for this kind of misanthropist!!
I wonder if kids realize the North Pole is under water. I think Suzuki should take a group of environmental activists to the North Pole on Dec.25 th to show how warm it really is up there. And may he turn into the frozen shit that he is.
Are you denying that the Arctic is experiencing melting that normally happens on geological timescales in just a few decades?
Are you denying that the Arctic is is experiencing some of the most extreme warming, as predicted by IPCC?

What do you expect from a guy who cries himself to sleep over eco-doom everynight? David really does believe that Santa’s house is melting.
Please Mummy can Santa bring us another piece of coal for the fire?
No, I keep telling you, only naughty kids get coal. You’re on the nice list, which means we get to freeze this winter because Santa’s building another airport in the Maldives.
“It’s a travesty”.
No, really, it is.
But, seriously folks – what did Santa do all those other times in the past when the North Pole was ice free? Was his home ruined? Or, has he been clever enough to have a house boat? I mean, c’mon man – this is simple something he’s delt with many times in the past, why would he be soliciting for help now? Oh, wait – the money goes to Suziki.
Shame. Perhaps some dirty coal in Suziki’s stocking would be in order.
“Pay us or the Jolly Fat Man gets it!” Nice work, guys. >:-(
Indoctrinate them while it still can! It’s the same with religion.
I agree with David Ball: “This will do them more harm than good.”
>>Many OTHER religions beg for money
There. Fixed it.
Non regulating man made climate change is a real as Santa.
People like Suzuki seem to feel that their self-righteousness, their self-appointed roles as saviours, can justify such abuse of childhood and charm. ‘Shoddy Suzuki’ is the epithet that comes to my mind. As did the 10:10 movie in a more barbaric way, this advert reveals an alienation from ‘ordinary folk’ that is astonishing to see.
At least he is dressed as a court Jester. Truth in advertizing.

Off-topic, GW. You’re trying to climb into the conversation, implicitly supporting Suzuki’s onerous pitch. You don’t understand the issue at hand, either.
99 cents store is selling Coal Cookies for bad-kids’ stockings,
sugar-free and butter-free too.
I guess this would be a good opportunity to tell kids that Santa doesn’t exist – and that adults lie to them all the time to get them to behave like they want.
Seems like a life lesson.

Quiet simply we don’t know, we only have just over 30 years of accurate records. That’s no time at all in climate science.
What about Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, huh? WHERE WILL THE MAN OF STEEL GO TO LISTEN TO THE TAPES OF HIS FATHER!!!

===================================================================
Nope. I just don’t give a rats ass.
Looking damned snowy at the North Pole right now, maybe they are talking about a different one, I hear there are more than one, for the Warmists!
Unfortunately Santa can no longer afford to heat his home and his elves are freezing to death. Due to climate change “scientists” making up “the facts” as they go along, green taxes on energy bills are going to kill thousands of people this winter.
We would ask you to buy these worthless Carbon Credits to help Santa move to a warmer location, but even then he cannot afford the energy he needs to keep his workshops running as they also need machinery which cannot run on fairy dust. So his workshops will have to close down and all his elves and reindeer will be out of a job. Ever raising energy prices are pushing up the cost of goods ans services around the world at a time when people have less and less money to pay for items. This means providers of goods and services are faced with having to cut jobs and in some cases close down all together as it is no longer profitable to run some businesses whilst costs keep on spiralling up.
David Suzuki is one sick puppy, scaremongering children is as low as it gets, but he had a great tutor in Al parasite Gore.
This reveals again the uncaring mentality that unfortunately pervades some of the CAGW supporters. This campaign is targeted at misleading children into giving money to Suzuki’s own foundation. Previously, we have had the unwholesome 10:10 campaign depicting abuse (explosions) towards dissenting children. Al Gore’s global change movie was propaganda aimed at children and which fortunately cannot be shown to schoolchildren in the UK without first listing all of the inaccuracies in the film.
We need an equivalent protection for websites like Suzuki’s or 10:10. They should be a recommended ‘parental guidance’ list for protection against abusive environmentalists.
