Open Thread: Unintended Consequences, Global Warming Edition

One of the great myths of American childhood is the premise of Santa Claus, living at the North Pole and coming to all the good little girls and boys on Christmas.

Another great American myth, courtesy of the Republican party and climate change deniers world-wide, is that global warming isn't happening.

Now, due to the herculean efforts of the Freeway Blogger, those two myths have collided head-on in a two-sign series.

The first sign reads "If you think telling kids there's no Santa is hard," and the second reads "Try telling them there's no North Pole."

Ouch.

This is an Open Thread.
