Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Australian scientist and author Dr. Ian Irvine has written a children’s story about climate change, drowning reindeer and the destruction of Santa’s kingdom thanks to Global Warming.
According to the Author;
The story focuses on the littlest reindeer, Vixen, and her challenge to save Santa’s village and workshop from billionaire villain Mr Sneer who wants to steal Christmas for himself. In the background of the story, the ice at the North Pole slowly melts away.
“It seemed like a great story idea that the ice at the North Pole is cracking up, what is going to happen to Santa and the elves, but more importantly, what is going to happen to the kids at Christmas,” Dr Irvine said.
Dr Irvine said the narrative needed to be engaging so that kids could understand the underlying issues of the book while also helping parents talk about climate change to their children.
“The stories make the problems of climate change real for the kids, they can see the characters in the story are really affected by climate change,” Dr Irvine said.
Sadly I didn’t receive my reviewer’s copy. Based on the writeup, The Last Christmas is probably not as gruesome as the Richard Curtis exploding children video, but is likely right up there with the British government climate action campaign which featured drowning puppies.
Note from Anthony:
And, lest we forget, here’s the execrable David Suzuki, who just a few years ago tried to down Santa and the reindeer with his ludicrous fabrications while asking for money.
In other words, the non-existent fictitious home of a child’s imaginary Christmas benefactor is the appropriate vector/vehicle for children to indoctrinate their parents on the dangers in which the teachers’ unions believe.
“The last Christmas”!!
No more December 25th!!!
I’ve heard of “Climate Change” but “Calendar Change” is getting ridiculous!!!!
Two questions:
1. What kind of parent would read that book to their young children?
What a great idea, let’s make our kids anxious and worried. That way they’ll grow up happy and well adjusted. (Sounds like child abuse to me.)
2. How are the sales of the book doing. Anyone know? I’m betting on “not good”.
Haven’t you heard? It will be assigned reading in 1st through 4th grades and available in every elementary school library
The picture at the top of an imperious, whiskered pedant….make me ill. What kind of F#@kwit would do something like this???
Santa or Satan? My dyslexia always gets them mixed up.
As I have said before, what kind of people seek & want to frightend the children so that they can influence them for their own ends?????
The actual demise of Santa:
