2. Frosty Is Going To Melt To Death - Frosty The Snowman
What Happens: A magical hat brings a snowman name Frosty to life. Before the changing seasons can melt Frosty, the children who built him take him to the North Pole where he can spend his days happy in the knowledge that he is safe from searing pain of summer.
The Implications: ... or so you thought. Frosty the Snowman will have us believe Frosty has found a safe haven in the Arctic. We could probably accept that this as a happy ending except for one pesky problem: climate change. In the years since Frosty the Snowman charmed a generation of tykes with its inspirational story about Frosty getting a second chance to live a long and happy life, the world has been getting hotter and hotter thanks to pollution in the air. We've been pumping Co2 into the atmosphere creating a greenhouse effect and it's killing Frosty. A recent UN report concluded that Arctic ice shrank to a record low in 2012. What does this mean for everyone's favourite snowman? Frosty has nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide. Once the final iceberg melts, Frosty's going with it. He'll have to suffer an agonizing living death as he slowly melts away. Put that in your corncob pipe and smoke it.
