Is Santa's carbon footprint as big as his generous spirit?
Quick, somebody get Rudolph some Rolaids. Along with the methane emissions generated by a fleet of airborne tundra reindeer, take a gander at other contributors to Santa's carbon-heavy Christmas Eve journey.

Right on, Eric. A measly 380ppmv CO2 is barely enough to keep plants alive and feeding us! At 120ppm the plants die; at 500-600ppmv every day in the summer periods they are producing enough food and oxygen to generate a beautiful world. What greenhouse produce farmer wouldn't like an atmosphere with 800-1000ppmv naturally instead of having to pay to generate that for increased tomato (and other crops) production?!! Ho! Ho! Ho! .... Go, Go, Go , Santa!!! - help us get more plant food into.... More
Matt Hickman...you have entirely too much time on your hands.
Though I appreciate the thoughts I have to ask does Matt drive a car or use any other types of carbon emitting devices? If so you need to get a clue.
Big deal. It's just CO2.
Just from a practical point of view... no one burns that coal. the coal you get in a sticking. people do not burn it. they usually just get sad and throw it at other kids or such. Coal is not a boogey man like say uranium ore. it does not kill you sitting there. if it did you would all already be dead.
Also Santa is magic and magic is as green as energy gets.
Grinches!
You gotta admit; if you consider the resources expended for people to view this article on computers around the world - you're not exactly helping the environment, are ya?
In fact; you're worse than Santa: because you are real.
Um...hon...Santa Claus doesn't exist. I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.
It's ok, glowbull warming doesn't exist either so it all balances out.
The fact that some people are ignorant enough to believe that global warming hasnt been scientifically proven shows that we as a species deserve our slow death.
The fact that some people are malicious enough to think that anything deserves to die a slow death shows that you as a person should shut your filthy mouth.
It really doesn't matter if GW is real or not. If you think that it will cause a "slow death" you are sadly mistaken. A warmer climate with a more CO2-rich atmosphere isn't going to ruin the planet, unless you think that increased biomass and higher crop yields will kill us all.
