statistics, studies, and facts support the evidence that our species is the main cause. Our wastefulness and inefficiency has led to major spikes in greenhouse gas emissions over the past century. The global warming epidemic is leading to polar ice caps melting, and in the next couple of centuries, may cause an overall flooding of the earth as well as the extinction of such species as the polar bear.

The non-sequitur version of the Little Red Cap focuses more on modern problems people may face in today’s world.

increased carbon dioxide levels has caused the destruction of the ozone layer, and its level of protection to the surface of Earth. More of the sun’s dangerous rays reach the ground, which most noticeably has resulted in the melting of the polar ice caps.
