The Siberian Santa Claus - Ded Moroz

The Siberian Santa Claus

 
In Siberia, the eastern part of Russia close to Asia, he’s known as "Ded Moroz."    A literal translation of the name would be "Old Man Frost", although recently, the name is translated as "Father Frost"

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
