Christmas carol lyrics altered to advance global warming climate change and other reasons.

Here we go. Again. Still.

The Daily Mail - "Silent Night, Smoky Night":
Christian choirs nationwide will change the lyrics of traditional Christmas carols in a bid to force action on climate change.
[.]
Lyrics to songs such as 'Joy To The World' were rewritten as: 'Cool down the world, the time has come, for targets tight and fair'.
[.]
'Silent Night, Holy Night,' was changed to 'Silent Night, Smokey Night' and 'We Wish You a Steady Climate' replaced 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas'.
We Wish You a Steady Climate. That's really good. Some one, or group, mentally chose those were the words to replace the original lyrics. I'd like to thank these people for the humour content. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor when HE gives us material like this? If this was fiction or stand-up comedy, it would be mildly amusing. But this comes from real people (I guess, anyway) who earnestly believe their lyric changes will make things better. God Bless them.

And in Wisconsin, the land of Ed Gein, Dahmer and others, ABC News'Silent Night' Lyrics Change to "Cold in the Night":
Dodgeville School District officials say traditional, unaltered carols will also be sung, and that "Cold in the Night" is part of a decades-old Christmas play that students have performed in years past, and is not an attack on the religious nature of the holiday.
