A Polar Rescue

[huilinglee3]

LOL, hilarious!!! Excellent reminder that Santa Claus lives in the North Pole, not just polar bears, penguins, etc.

[minimalmonkey]

This video perfectly illustrates the problem with big beards :-D

[lilith2300]

its a shame

fuck mafia greenpeace

[776281]

The global warming deniers are out in force, but the ice is still disapearing. The winter freeze up is more than a little late in Hudson Bay.

[damoopies]

C'mon! That was awesome, made for adults, I loved it! Go Greenpeace!

[Funksploitation]

Paul Watson, supporter and comrade of terrorists, filth, scum, die you ugly old bastard, die!

[TinyMachines]

Google Climategate.

Torito, yes, there are massive amounts of money to come from claiming climate change is directly linked to humans. Where does this money come from? Taxes by the UN. That's what is trying to be hammered out at Copenhagen right now. You think the scientists won't part of the structure?

Third world countries are being paid to produce corn and sell it off to the western world for biofuels, while the people in the countries are starving, and the gov'ts won't feed their people.

[minimalmonkey]

@TinyMachines I see that this comment is a couple years old so no wonder it's out of date. There have been any number of false scandals in the past two years - all lacking substance on closer examination.

The real scandal is how world leaders continue to fail to address climate change when practical solutions are at hand (solar, wind power, etc).

[bekahweirich]

Santa puking isn't going to change people, just scar children. So much of climate change is political. And when it's political, it's rarely accurate.

[fsmaestro]

LOLZ @ this video.

[oOXxKerAxXOo]

it's ridiculous!how can you possibly ignore global warming!?for all you idiots who think that you changing your lifestyle wont make a difference I think you are really sad and ignorant creatures.If EVERYONE got together and made a few changes the impact would be enormous but you're all too tied up in your consumerist lives to even bother seeing as 'oh me recycling won't make a difference' or whatever.grow up.and think about the children who have to live with the consequences of your ignorance.

[iwin4u2]

@oOXxKerAxXOo calm down - it was much warmer during the medivial period than it is now and there was no industry back them - climate has cycles always has, always will - taxing the worlds population will have no effect on temperature readings.

[ToritoMedia]

I think it's really sad that so many of you are denying global warming when it's been scientifically proven.  For all of you that will now bombard me with "facts" and messages of hate, I say, I know there's a huge profit to be made denying that global warming exists, but who profits from saying that it does? Maybe all those global warming scientists are really gunning for bigger grants instead of trying to save our planet.

[FinalApoka]

It's a curious thing, Carbon emissions that make up less than 5% of all greenhouse gases and of that humans produce less than 1% (even with factories etc) of the carbon gases. I mean Dead leaves produce considerably more than humans. Same with other animals, volcanoes produce more, yet man-made carbon is supposedly the cause? I think everyone underestimates the power of the SUN. It's what produces heat for the Earth and it's temperature isn't constant..

[Sharkfin75]

Nice, cute even, makes me glad I don't contribute to GP. I support and volunteer for another org who are busy saving whales at the other end of the earth.

[captainexcabier]

I don't contribute either, since humans aren't having more than a negligible effect on Earth's normal climate change. Nice animation, though.

[wepu67]

Our dear planet suspended in a sun beam, attacked from within by those that exploit its great abundance of life and resources, its our backyard and how badly we treat it and those creatures that share our home with us, polluting the atmosphere that gives us life, destroying every living thing that makes this world so unique, this video is a very poignant reminder of the dangers we are creating to ourselves that threaten even our own survival, Save the Whales from exploitation by Japan

[Funksploitation]

@wepu67 : lobotomized imbecile!

[bubbazametti]

multi-million dollar PR campaigns and brainwashing mandates that have worked themselves into every sector of society, including education, movies, television the arts and culture, all the attention and funding is being lavished upon a manufactured hoax, peddled with the aid of phony data, as governments prepare to suck whats left out of the middle class and poor with carbon taxes that do nothing to help the environment, while all the real environmental problems are left in the shadows.

[bobmac65]

It amazes me that some people here are so easily led. They want to believe that global warming isn't happening so they latch on to one scientist who disagrees with it and say "See, a scientist says it isn't so". Never mind that the majority of the world's scientists say it is happening; never mind that the polar ice caps are melting; never mind that around the world glaciers are disappearing. Lazy minds believe what they want to believe and never mind the facts.

[steindaddie]

This video will be enjoyed by children and those who think like them.

[bubbazametti]

Scientist fired by Al Gore was told, science will not intrude on public policy.

Noted energy expert and Princeton physicist Dr. Will Happer has sharply criticized global warming alarmism. Happer, author of over 200 scientific papers and a past director of energy research at the Department of Energy, called fears over global warming mistaken.

[walkingline]

The IPCC say climate change is happening and is due to man's activities. Scientific consensus (shown through support for the IPCC) is that climate change is happening due to man. The reason people think that scientists are still on the fence is political. Dick Cheney told Republicans that the public will support whatever the scientists agree on, and they way to maintain public support is not to deny climate change but to add an element of doubt as to wether or not scientists agree.

[bubbazametti]

IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment

[cheeseisgrate]

Dr. Will Happer is in the vast minority of educated climate change deniers

[naepalz]

This made me smile. I personally don't see this as being propaganda, just a tongue in cheek seasonal attempt to get the climate change message across. I also don't see it as being aimed particularly at children - is Santa Claus not a universal Western symbol of Christmas? To everyone who thinks there is no need to recycle or try to conserve energy, fuel etc why are you watching a Greenpeace video? Why not just bugger off and screw the planet up a bit more for those of us who do actually care?

[Richmond1966]

Disgraceful and untrue.

[Fogbrush]

Great way to communicate a crisis issue to the young. Well done!

[Fogbrush]

Of course global warming has nothing to do with man's activities ... and Santa is real and he lives with the tooth fairies!

[saxonhaste]

whom ever made this video needs a slap in the head. pounding political indevers in to hildrens heads a lie none the less. and you wonder why we call you mommunists.

[pinkstarzprincess]

It's not for children, it's a joke with a message for adults. And what the hell is a mommunist?

[alqumber]

Global climate change due to human generated pollution can not be overlooked. The gases and toxic wastes produced by humans and dumped on the planet can be recycled but need more time then the rate of human generation of the toxins, we need to think of ways to reduce our impact... Simple and not hard to understand

[reccos121]

Biggest piece of liberal propaganda BULLSHIT. All climate change groups have apparently left all means of science, because they realize that it is junk and someone doesn't want to give is Nobel Prize back.

[fredianoB]

2005, NASA reports polar ice caps on Mars retreating.

Better let AlGore and 300 of his crony friends tax something, quick.

No mid-altitude warming signature as predicted by the MMGW CO2 models. Only in Cargo Cult Science is lack of proof a proof of fact.

Al's own ice core data shows CO2 lags global temps by 800 yrs. He got caught finessing the data to try to say the opposite, and some bought it.

Thank god for catalytic converters, cleaning up exhaust by conversion to harmless CO2...

[bobmac65]

There is no doubt that climate change as a result of global warming is occurring. Some dispute its cause but there is no question about its reality. Both the Arctic and the Antarctic icecaps are melting. Those who deny that are lying or they simply don't know.

In New Zealand where I live we face powercuts because the lakes that feed our hydro electric stations are drying up because the permanent snow on the Southern Alps is disappearing. Global warming is fact.

[nihongo02341]

The ice caps are melting?

Regardless of what you think or believe, you ought to know one fact that may help you to understand something.

When the sun rises, it raises the temperature, even in a region where temperatures are below freezing.

Now, if you research the findings on solar flares, you will see that the earth is warmer during periods of strong flares, and now, it is cooler during periods of inactivity. In fact we are heading for a cooler period-the latest US cold snap just reeks of this!

[headlessrd]

And yet there's been a steady upwards trend for the last 150.

One long continuous solar flare????

That might just justify your V8 but logic says something different.

2005 Hottest year in southern hemisphere.

[bubbazametti]

scam & propaganda

[ahafansince1985]

Nice propaganda Greenpeace!

[tcwicks]

When people such as the Flat Earth Society exist its not surprising that some people will actually deny global warming. Both groups are pure genius LOL.

[showme6969]

tcwicks said, "When people such as the Flat Earth Society exist its not surprising...people will actually deny global warming."

Typical lib tactic, can't win with facts, so try to discredit others by making an irrelevant comparison to a radical group. Allow me to turn this back on you. It's actually the global warming, oops, I mean the climate change, oops, I mean the climate crisis nuts who are like flat earthers. Ignore facts for hype to give government more power over our lives. Genius!

[OJB42]

Global warming deniers seem to be very good at cherry picking their evidence and continually quoting discredited "facts" in support of their beliefs. They remind me of creationists that way! Maybe they don't like the ad. Maybe they don't like Greenpeace. Whatever. They should go and check the science. Every major scientific organisation in the world now supports the reality of Global Warming.

[garoy22]

let the global warming begin!!so that we will all realize that global warming is real when we are already drowned and wading in neck deep water...as other idiots have commented below, they think global warming is fake and blah blah blah...well who cares about us humans???morons and ignorant pricks outnumber the ones who are open-minded...so let the global warming begin, and who cares about the environment and climate change??let us all die and get f*ckd!

[L4CES]

LOL...Now that the polar caps have increased by 30% in the past 18 months and we have a global cooling trend...what will the money grabbing destroyers of the middle class do without their carbon tax? We should have listened to the scientists from the NGIPCC all along. Man made CO2 has little effect on the overall temp of the Earth. Solar variation is the major factor is global temperature swings. The politicians can not explain the medievel warm period.

[headlessrd]

When was the last time you had a look at the Arctic. It's due to be gone by 2040.

Scientist's did explain the medieval warm period. It's caused by trees emitting methane at a point in their life cycle and therefore altering the climate. If CO2 didn't regulate the temperature we wouldn't be here. Read any reputable text book on early life or the climate.

[L4CES]

I can't blame you for your complete ignorance, because the mainstream media is largely owned by those who will benefit from global warming hysteria, such as GE...etc.etc.

I've read and written reputable peer reviewed papers. There's no consensus and even those who helped Al Gore with his film, have reversed their decision that man-made (anthropogenic) greenhouse gasses are a cause for alarm. The last time I looked at the Arctic? I looked at the NASA satellite images on 8/11/2008.

[L4CES]

You remember those images don't you? The ones that showed 30% more ice than 8/12/2007?

I thought I saw you in the lab at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. Or maybe it was you at the University of Illinois?

[headlessrd]

Here's a relevant comparison.

We had an el nino recently which screws with weather and temperature all around the world.

You have to look at an overall trend.

and here's a link.

[Battlemaster7]

"The North Pole is melting"

No, it's actually not. End credibility.

[gondwanan]

Check your facts - the Arctic is melting. For the first time in at least 125,000 years the North-west passage around Canada and the North-east passage around Russia are simultaneously opening. Until recently both have been blocked by ice since the beginning of the last Ice Age.

[ejbh3160]

gondwanan... The shills are out in force everytime Greenpeace post a video. Its their job.. & for those who don't have some selfishly motivated vested interest &/or aren't paid to do it, its just their way of feeling like they know something that all those 'educated' people don't know.

People will always look for the excuse that allows them to continue to be selfish, greedy & ignorant of the destruction & misery they create with their selfish, greedy ignorance!!

[grabarc]

The whole commercial gives a freaky Soviet Propaganda Reel vibe to me. The music's beat, and the camera angels scream it to me(especially the guy pulling the rope. I swear I've seen that exact pose and angle in a 60's or 70's Politburo movie, but it was a guy in a factory holding a hammer)

[lees20022]

wesseavey,

Global Warming/Climate change hysteria is used as a marketing tool for donation based orgs and new industry and by political groups who claim to have the "problematic cause" all figured out and the clear "solution" to the alledged crisis.

The Grateful Child you point to is no different, replete with links to money- hungry groups (including Greenpeace),political marketeers and others

[ortholamew]

They know that intelligent adults won't buy into the Global Warming propaganda, so they have to BRAINWASH little kids. This is sick, sick, sick!

Somebody said "caring is intelligent." You sad, sorry sucker! You've see a few talking heads tell you Global Warming is bad, and without doing one shred of decent research, you suddenly "care" and are thus "intelligent."

People like that are the true problem with this country, the sheep believe EVERYTHING they are shown.

[lees20022]

At one time, Greenpeace did good work by drawing attention to the over harvesting and unnecessary harm of seals, whales and other wildlife.

Sadly they have been hijacked by people who are clearly motivated by reasons other than what the name of their organization suggests.

This video is a perfect example of that.

Fear mongering to children is unacceptable on any level

[dontcallmyhousenomo]

LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!

This went from GLOBAL WARMING and when it stopped warming it became CLIMATE CHANGE.

Nice try Greenpieceofsh...

[gondwanan]

Global warming is the term used to describe the warming effect that greenhouse gas emissions have on our atmosphere. Climate change it the alteration in weather patterns and other systems that is caused in turn by global warming.

[dontcallmyhousenomo]

like any good liberal you just change the setting to fit your story.

bunch of BS from an old oil sales man, AL GORE

Why didn't a scientist have to come out and say this, why did it take an oily grease ball like him. i guess fools need someone to follow. while your at it you can ride with "ecofriendly" sherl crow and her 10 semi truck entourage

[headlessrd]

Yes it was all Al Gore's idea.

Let's ignore the rest of the scientific community's consensus on the issue and say that one fat white man is leading the movement. It'll make it easier to slam that way.

Let's ignore the Stern report, let's ignore the IPCC and continue denial.

Good Idea.

[dontcallmyhousenomo]

yeah like the scientists and PHD's who are all suing him for libel. don't forget about that.

and the leader of the suit is non other than the OWNER OF THE WEATHER CHANNEL. not some snake oil salesman like your messiah al gore

[headlessrd]

You actually didn't read my comment did you if yours ends with "like your messiah al gore"

Considering your obsession with him I'd say he's closer to your messiah.

I could sue you for libel, whether or not I win however is another matter.

Comments about inaccuracies in an Inconvenient Truth are based on the predictions of the IPCC which openly don't take into account sea level rises etc from melting of Greenland and Antarctica.

[pinkstarzprincess]

Let's also ignore the form lead of NASA, Jim Hanson, who says that we have eight years to do something before it's irreversible.

[lees20022]

Greenpeace is so uncool now.

Why did saving animals and the enviroment from harm get put in the hands of complete and utter dolts?

[wesseavey]

I can't believe how rude some of you are. It's not the government, ...it's you. The government is merely a reflection of you. When are you going to start making this a better world? Hundred of dedicated people all over the world trying to save your children. If you only know some of them as I do... Warriors of the Rainbow, ...all of them. Global Warming? Look up Grateful Child in Yahoo. I'll be 1st in your search. At the bottom of the page there, please watch The 11th Hour.

[nustada]

So did you leave your cookies for santa?

[MrKilroi]

Hmmm...as any 5 year old would point out "why would santa need a boat? When he can fly". CO2 does not drive climate. never did, never will. So get a grip. Shill comments indeed. I suppose you believe in Santa Claus too.Maybe the Easter Bunny as well? Ah right the easter bunny was wiped out when the plough sliced through his home on the soy bean farm....

[ejbh3160]

MrKiljoy... you sado. Its a 'seasonal' message for 5 year old shills like you! The reason CO2 is a 'problem' is because we are extracting carbon which the planet 'took care of' millions (sometimes billions) of years ago. CO2 is NOT a problem when the planet is functioning as it has done for countless millions of years, by 'sinking' it in coal & other deposits. When human beings come along and extract it & dump BILLIONS of tons of the stuff into the atmosphere every year... WE become the problem!

[ejbh3160]

good grief just look at all the shill comments here!! Happy Christmas to you lot too! You shills are all a bunch of f**ing morons (as Jim Morrison once famously said... now which song was it?? People are strange? Riders on the storm maybe? Oh no it was 5 to 1 baby, one in five, no one here gets out alive!

;-)

Keep it up GREENPEACE!!

Only morons don't CARE because caring is intelligent! Thats why the 'elite' have a ceremony called "The Cremation of CARE" once a year! Because they DON'T & AREN'T!

[Richmond1966]

The north pole has melted many times. It was last ice free in the 1950s.

This is just more from elitist totalitarians determined to tell us how to live.

[d17888]

Global warming is as believable as flying reindeer.

[AustraliaMedia]

Google: 650 scientists dissent + epw senate

[WeAreChangeBrisbane]

A) Where's the helipad on that ship?

B) Polar bears can SWIM!

[rjs3484]

Dumbest commercial ever.

[shonester]

There's no way this an official Greenpeace video. It is absolutely stupid. No way...I don't believe it.

[auntyminxy]

Great video - very amusing way to get the message out. Pity the climate skeptic crew have sent it to all their mates and asked them to make the stupid comments below. Bah humbug to them!

[politiconz]

Guys! Get a life! It's a bit of humor for the end of the year and I love it! Good on Greenpeace.

[nessatkinson]

I'm surprised to see such strong reactions.

I think Greenpeace is using humour to say climate change is so serious and such a huge threat that no one is immune - in this case even the iconic Santa Claus.

Using humour & exaggeration to make a serious point is a very common technique so shouldn't shock most people who use You Tube.

Also, with Santa vomiting off the back, this one is clearly for the big kids not the littlies!

Go Greenpeace. If we couldn't laugh about climate change we'd cry!

[marciaj720]

Well, I learned in school that Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide kill people and that we need Oxygen to live.

So, as long as we keep removing the Carbon that is packed into the ground out into the air - yeah, we are killing our atmosphere and ourselves.

Nature will balance it all out - when mass extinction occurs, especially of the human race.

[codehead1]

>Well, I learned in school that Carbon Monoxide and

>Carbon Dioxide kill people and that we need Oxygen to live.

You must have skipped some classes. Carbon dioxide is required for life on the planet. Assuming you have enough oxygen, co2 itself can't kill you, and if you don't have enough oxygen, you'll die whether there is co2 or not. The atmosphere is less than 0.04% co2.

[politiconz]

You're totally missing the point. We are emitting too much co2 and it is acting as a greenhouse gas which causes global warming and climate change. It's a serious issue and you should pull your head out of the sand my friend.

[codehead1]

>It's a serious issue

Then why marginalize by making animations that appeal to kids, not to facts? We should stop global warming because Santa will lose his home? It does fit, now that I think about it--Greepeace does seem to live in a fantasy world in which fact is unimportant.

>you should pull your head out of the sand

I replied to someone who said they learned in school that co2 kills people, an assertion that is not true. Do you disagree? What is your point?

[AustraliaMedia]

Causes BOTH Global Warming and Climate Change?

I thought the climate always changes?

[usmcobra]

From Wikipedia: Winter (January) temperatures at the North Pole can range from about −43 °C (−45 °F) to −26 °C (−15 °F), perhaps averaging around −34 °C (−30 °F). Summer temperatures (June, July and August) average around the freezing point (0 °C, 32 °F).

[latranyi]

Indoctrination camps are coming.....oh, they already have those....its call public school.

[freshcut0619]

Unbelievable...propaganda for the kiddies. Rational argument doesn't work, so let's scare the kiddos...remarkable

[hillaroo666]

Gore-Bull warming.

Record cold weather and these dingbats are still shrieking about Global Warming. Now they are switching the mantra to "Global Climate Change".

Typical left-wing drivel, trying to alarm the sheeple over fluctuations in the weather. They do not know if the world is getting warmer or colder, but they are absolutely certain that whichever it is - IT IS OUR FAULT!

Send Gore to the North Pole. Feed him to the Polar Bears. That ought to get them through the winter.

[grahamnoyes]

Dammit, where's the French special forces when you need them?

[thegipper01]

A piece of crap..these retards make me puke.Just how low can you go,i figure there is plenty of room yet!!

[vancouver57]

Propaganda for adults has failed ... abysmally. Now the Radical Left are going after the children.  Joseph Goebbels would have been so proud!

[wullu5]

This is almost as sad as the suicidal apes, kangaroos and polar bears video.

Maybe even more sad.

[masmit]

Surely, Santa represents exactly the kind of greedy consumerism that we must stop if we're to avoid being simultaneously burnt and drowned. He must die!

[jiouoiuuu]

Oh please, these are the same hippie scum who rail against Santa Clause and his materialistic success.

If they ever want to Santa's workshop it would be to picket or to transport their E.L.F. terrorist buddies.

[AceMcFool]

Meh. That was lame.

It seems the most obvious it becomes that global warming is a lie, the more desperate their adds get. I liked the one about the money hanging itself better anyway.

[perkler2006]

Greenpeace did u know that the south pole's ice area(extent) is now 20% larger than normal??????????? Greenpeace use to be cool nowdays they are sad.

[bg3brooks]

LMAO... this is about as stupid as it gets. In real life their boat wouldn't get within hundreds of miles of the north pole without getting stuck in the ice. But if using CGI as science is good enough for Al Gore, it's good enough for Greenpeace.

[blogegog]

Is science not your 'thing'? Then Greenpeace is the place for you!

[EasyEs]

Don't care, climate change is mostly mis-representation of data by political advocacy groups.

[bermewjan77]

LOVE IT! Thanks Greenpeace x
