What causes climate change and how does it impact Earth?

Earth is like a big, cozy blanket, and climate change is when that blanket gets too thick or too thin, making Earth too warm or too cold.

Imagine you have a favorite hoodie. When it’s chilly outside, your hoodie keeps you warm. But if you wear it all the time, even on sunny days, you might get too hot. That’s like what’s happening with climate change, Earth is getting too warm because there's more heat being trapped.

This happens because of something called greenhouse gases, which are like invisible bubbles that keep heat in the air. People use lots of cars, factories, and even candles, which make these bubbles grow bigger over time. That means Earth can’t cool down as easily, it’s like wearing a hoodie on a hot day!

When Earth gets warmer, things start changing:

• Ice melts faster, making the sea level rise.
• Weather becomes more extreme, stronger storms or longer droughts.
• Some animals move to new places, and plants grow in different ways.

It’s like when you leave your juice outside on a hot day, it might even spill over! Earth is reacting the same way. Earth is like a big, cozy blanket, and climate change is when that blanket gets too thick or too thin, making Earth too warm or too cold.
