The times they are a changeing...



Come gather round people where ever You roam, and admit that the waters around You have grown...

No, this isn't about Greta Thunberg or the environment again but old Santa Claus and his Christmas antics. Well, maybe it's a little bit about the environment also ...

Every year Father Christmas travels around the planet with his reinders and his sleigh to deliver presents to all nice kids, but maybe it's time to upgrade this procedure for let's face it - flying reinders might have been top of the notch 50 or 100 years ago, but hey, the waters around us have grown.

MailOnline has spoken to forward-thinking industry expert Dr. Carl Diver, academic lead at Manchester Metropolitan University, who has come up with quite a few ideas to help Santa streamline his operation.

A hydrogen powered sleigh, robots for the toy factory and AI keeping Santas naughty and nice lists up to date are only some of his suggestions. Not only would such an upgrade save time for Santa but it would also make less of an imprint on our environment.

Check out the full story and Dr. Diver's suggestion in detail here:


Oh, I almost forgot ... Merry Christmas!

Greta Thunberg named Times "Person of the Year"



Swedish 16 years old climate activist Greta Thunberg was named 2019's "Person of the Year" by TIME Magazine today. Greta started out by skipping school on fridays to protest against Swedish Parliament not doing enough to stop climate change. Students all over the world joined in to protest against climate change and her skipping school turned into the “Fridays For Future" movement.

She has been praised by the Pope and Dalai Llama, but she has also had her share of hate. US President Trump tweeted sarcastical about her some months ago, and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro called Thunberg a “brat” after she tweeted about people who had been murdered while trying to protect the Amazon from deforestation.
