Imagine our planet like a giant puzzle, and when the pieces get messed up, it

causes some big problems. That's what's happening with climate change!

What is Climate Change?

It is like our Earth's regular weather getting a little crazy. People doing things like

using a lot of gas and chopping down too many trees make the Earth warmer.

That's not good because it messes up the way things usually work.

The Chain Reaction:

Picture this: one thing leads to another, like falling dominoes. When the Earth

warms up, ice at the North and South Poles melts, and the sea gets higher. This

makes floods happen in some places, and that's just the start.

Big Problems:

Floods: Too much rain can make water cover places that should be dry. Houses

can get messed up, and people might have to leave their homes.

Droughts: Some places don't get enough rain, and everything gets really dry.

Plants, animals, and even people struggle to find enough water.

Wildfires: Hotter weather can make big fires start and spread fast. These fires

can burn down forests and homes, making things super hard for everyone.

Hurricanes and Typhoons: Storms can get super strong and cause a ton of

damage. Big winds and heavy rains can flood places and wreck everything in

their path.
