More About climate
Climate has been here for a long time. It can change slowly. Some places were once warm and are now cold. This can take many years!
Climate helps us know what to wear. If it is hot, we wear shorts. If it is cold, we wear coats. It also helps farmers grow food.
In the future, our climate may change more. This can be good or bad. We need to take care of our Earth to keep it nice!
