Father Christmas may have to move his "workshop" from the North Pole
because global warming is thawing the ice beneath his feet and his reindeers,
feet as well. His" workshop" is in dire straits. The "platform " for the
"workshop" is melting, said Stefan Norris of the World Wildlife Fund
Environmental Group’s Arctic Program. An eight-nation report by
250 scientists published recently predicted the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free
in summer by 2100 because of a build-up of beat-trapping gases in the
atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels in cars or factories. The North
Pole is getting more and more inhabitable to Father Christmas, (46)

Christmas lives at the North Pole. (47) .

already speak Danish" Boldt said frostily when asked if Father Christmas would
be forced to learn Danish if Denmark won international recognition of its claim
to the Pole. Last month’s Arctic report said the region is warming twice as fast
as the rest of the globe, partly because dark ground or water, once uncovered,
soaks up more heat than ice or snow. Finland has been most favored by Father
Christmas and it has about 500,000 tourists a year to visit its Christmas center
in Rovaniemi in Lapland. (50) . A. However,
Nordic nations all reject it by claiming that their countries are his
home. B. Therefore the North Pole is the most attractive place
in the world. C. If Denmark’s claim were accepted
internationally, it would have the legal right to search for oil and gas at the
North Pole. D. One of them would be building a giant floating
ice rink for the workshop if the Pole thaws. E. Maybe Father
Christmas has already moved to Rovaniemi. F. He may have to move
from the North Pole within one children’s lifetimes.
