Climate change is like a big fan that makes weather go wild, sometimes it's really hot, sometimes there’s a lot of rain or wind.
Imagine you have a thermometer outside your house. It shows how warm the air is. Climate change is making that thermometer go up more often, so the air feels hotter than before. That means we get more heat waves, which are like really long days when it's super hot.
Also, climate change can make weather events bigger or happen more often. Think of it like a bath. If you turn on the tap too much, the water goes over the side, that’s like heavy rain or big storms. Climate change is turning on the tap harder and longer than before.
Sometimes there are not enough rains, so the ground gets really dry, like when your plants forget to drink water for a long time. That can cause droughts.
So climate change isn’t making weather happen, it’s making weather act more extreme, just like how a big fan makes everything feel more intense. Climate change is like a big fan that makes weather go wild, sometimes it's really hot, sometimes there’s a lot of rain or wind.

Examples
- A hotter Earth means more energy in the atmosphere, leading to stronger storms and longer heatwaves.
- Imagine a kitchen with a bigger fire, that's what climate change does to weather systems.
- More CO2 makes the air warmer, like turning up the heat on a stove.
