How Does Causes and Effects of Climate Change | National Geographic Work?

Imagine Earth is like a cozy blanket that keeps us warm, climate change is when this blanket gets too thick or too thin, making our planet either too hot or too cold.

Causes of climate change are things that make the blanket thicker or thinner. One big cause is carbon dioxide, which acts like a second layer on the blanket. When we burn cars, power plants, and even chop down trees, we send more carbon dioxide into the air, making the blanket warmer.

Effects are what happens when the blanket changes. If it gets too warm, ice melts, oceans rise, and animals might have to move somewhere else, just like how you might move out of your room if it got too hot!

Sometimes, people make the blanket thinner by planting more trees or using cleaner energy, this is like taking off a sweater when you’re too warm.

It’s not magic, it's just how Earth works, and we're learning to take care of our cozy blanket! Imagine Earth is like a cozy blanket that keeps us warm, climate change is when this blanket gets too thick or too thin, making our planet either too hot or too cold.
