Why does climate change cause more extreme weather events?

Climate change is like turning up the heat on a pot of soup, it makes everything more intense.

Imagine your kitchen has a thermostat that controls how hot the air is outside. When you turn it up, the air gets warmer. But just like when your soup bubbles and boils harder, the air starts to behave in bigger, wilder ways. This means we get extreme weather events, like super strong storms, really hot days, or heavy rain all at once.

Climate change is like giving the weather more energy. Think of it as a kid who gets excited and runs around a lot, the more energy they have, the more they move. The same thing happens with the air and water in our world.

When there’s more energy, storms grow stronger, heatwaves last longer, and rain can come all at once, like a sudden splash from a big watering can.

So instead of just having a gentle breeze or a light drizzle, you get strong winds and heavy rains, the weather is like it's playing a more exciting game! Climate change is like turning up the heat on a pot of soup, it makes everything more intense.
