If you enjoy making small children cry - and who doesn't? - then Fairfax has the perfect Christmas gift idea:
An Australian scientist has written a new children's book, just in time for Christmas, that weaves the impacts of climate change into a story about Santa Claus, his reindeers and an evil billionaire.
Author Dr Ian Irvine, who has been a scientist for over three decades, first came up with the idea of marrying Christmas and climate change together for his eBook The Last Christmas, The North Pole is melting! two years ago.
It sounds just ... great:
The ice at the North Pole is melting and Vixen, the smallest reindeer, is afraid.
Santa's toy workshop will soon fall into the sea, he has nowhere to go, and the elves who make the Christmas toys for him are threatening to leave.They're terrified of an old enemy, but won't say who it is, only that the dark is rising again.
Will this be the last Christmas?
Irvine's book, aimed at children as young as five, also features charming illustrations of dying animals:
Five-year-olds will just love this and won't have any nightmares at all. Previous works from Irvine include climate doom novels for adults, which the author claims predicted the future:
Many of the events described in the books (such as the destruction of New Orleans) have now come true.
I was in New Orleans just a few weeks ago. Considering it's been destroyed, the place seems to be doing pretty well. So too is dear old Santa.

Are Progressives evil — or are they mentally ill?
What kind of scientist is this guy? Where does get his funds?
The greedy commie libs are starting to get desperate. They want their government grants and they want them now.
WWIII will be here first, IMO.
“What kind of scientist is this guy?”
Much like Bill Nye.
these idiots are going to look like absolute fools in 500-100 years when their doom and gloom crap fails to materialize-
Good grief.
Yes.
What size donation would I have to give Jim to call this person what I so desperately want to call him?
Well, what I have called him already out loud in my house.
I wouldn’t mind if he walked on thin ice.
That reindeer looks a bit on the evil side.
I see this as a good thing.
I recall in the 70s they scared us with “The rain forests will be deforested by the year 2000, there will be no air”.
The same applies here. When these kids grow up and realize it’s bull, they won’t fall for the next con job after CO2 is exonerated.
Michael Bloomberg is in this story???
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
It’s not an either-or situation.
This author is a jive turkey.
