Scientists are saying Santa Clause may be homeless before the end of this summer due to warming conditions at the North Pole.
Santa will be swimming in open water before the end of the summer, the AP reports. Hopefully, he'll move before that happens. He does have a flying sleigh after all.
But a bigger question looms: Is this the end of Christmas?
With the big man out of a home and toy factory, where will all the gifts come from?
Anyways, the AP really doesn't give much context to the story. In my opinion, the NY Times does a better job with their story.
So is there any real threat? Apparently not much, yet at least.
Climate scientists are saying Antarctic ice is increasing while the Arctic ice is decreasing, undergoing a "flushing" process where old ice melts and is replaced by new ice. The new ice, however, tends to melt easier than the old ice did.
The whole process is being caused by global warming, most scientists think, and some of it...
