What is Global Warming?
Imagine the Earth is like a big blanket that keeps us warm. This blanket is made of gases in the air, like a warm hug around our planet.
How Does Global Warming Happen?
Sometimes, people do things like drive cars and use electricity that makes extra gases. These extra gases go into the air and make the Earth’s blanket super thick. When it gets too warm, it is called global warming!
Why is Global Warming a Problem?
When the Earth gets too warm, it can cause problems. It can melt ice in places like the North Pole where polar bears live. This makes the water levels rise and can flood places where people and animals live.
What Can We Do to Help?
We can do many things to help our planet! Here are some ideas:
- Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
- Ride a bike or walk instead of using a car for short trips.
- Plant a tree or take care of plants!
- Recycle paper, cans, and plastic.
When we work together and do these things, we can help keep our Earth happy and healthy!
