What is a fossil fuels?

Natural fuels like coal and oil from ancient plants and animals

causes of climate change: Discover What’s Really Happening

causes of climate change

Climate change means the Earth is getting warmer. This happens because of things we do. When we burn stuff like coal and gas, it makes bad gases. These gases trap heat in the air. This is called the greenhouse effect. It makes the Earth hot like a blanket. If we don’t stop, it can hurt our planet.

Did You Know?

Plants help clean the air we breathe!

Greenhouse Gases

These are gases that trap heat.

Burning Fuels

We burn fuels for power and heat.

What causes climate change?

We burn coal, oil, and gas.

Cows and cars make bad gases.

Cutting down trees adds to the heat.

More heat can melt ice and snow.

It can make storms and floods worse.

We need to help our Earth stay cool.

More About climate change

Long ago, the Earth was cool. But now, it is getting hot. People have made this change by using too much fuel. We need to find ways to use less fuel and save our air.

This change can hurt plants, animals, and us too. It can make it hard to grow food and can cause big storms. We should care for our Earth to keep it safe.

In the future, we can use wind and sun for power. This can help keep the air clean. If we all work together, we can make a big change!
