What is Global Warming?

Global warming is a big word that means our Earth is getting a little bit warmer. Just like when you wear a cozy sweater on a chilly day, the Earth has a cozy blanket around it called the atmosphere.

Why is the Earth Getting Warmer?

Sometimes, people do things like drive cars and make electricity that let out gases into the air. These gases are like having too many blankets on the Earth. They make it warmer! This is called pollution.

What Happens When the Earth Gets Warmer?

When the Earth gets warmer, it can affect things around us. For example:

• Ice in places like the North Pole can melt, which makes the water levels higher.
• Weather can change, and sometimes it can rain more or be hotter than usual.
• Some animals may not have homes anymore if the places they live change too much.

What Can We Do to Help?

We can help take care of our Earth! Here are some things we can do:

• Recycle things like paper and bottles.
• Plant trees that help make fresh air.
• Use less water when we brush our teeth.

Every little thing we do can help keep our Earth happy and healthy!
