Imagine Earth as a big ice cream cone, with the ice at the very top
representing the frozen parts of the planet, like the North and South
Poles. Now, picture that ice cream slowly melting. That's what's
happening to our world because of something called climate change.
The ice in these polar areas is melting because it's getting warmer. Just
like an ice cream cone melts on a hot day, the ice on our planet is

melting into the oceans. This causes the sea levels to go up, and that's a

big problem.

When sea levels rise, it's like the ocean creeping closer to the land. This

can flood the homes and land of people who live near the coast. It also

messes with the weather and the homes of animals in these areas.

But here's the good news: We can do something about it. We can use

less energy, like turning off lights when we don't need them. We can

also reduce, reuse, and recycle to help slow down climate change. When

we all work together, we can protect our planet and keep it safe for the

future.
